AL wins refurbishment contract for Aberconway House
Mayfair's largest private dwelling

Amalgamated Lifts has been awarded the contract for the refurbishment of two lifts in Aberconway House in Mayfair. Aberconway House is privately owned and is undergoing redecoration and improvement following its sale last year. The main passenger lift car is 4m high and is able to carry eight passengers. Because of its height, the special design requires the use of under driven doors. The interiors are to the highest specification decorated in minimalist style with black flock lacquer, concealed buttons and lit with a single downlight. Additionally the lifts now travel to basement level providing access to and from the newly installed swimming pool.

Amalgamated Lifts launches new sister company - Amalgamated Platform Lifts

Amalgamated Platform Lifts Ltd launched on 4^th April 2011. The company has been created to specifically target the high end platform lift market in London and the South East and will be headed by Gary Moore who has extensive experience in this niche market. Gary was keen to work with the Amalgamated team after he became involved in some of our projects. We are very excited about this opportunity to develop a new brand name in the Platform Lift market.

AL restructures and expands Maintenance Operations team

Whilst we secured record levels of new contracts last year, we appreciate that it is more important than ever to retain our ethos of communication and good service for all of our clients, both long-standing and new. For this reason we are pleased to announce that we have made the following changes in our management structure to ensure that we meet these expectations in 2011 and beyond. We have promoted Dave Huxley, one of our Field Technicians, to the position of Field Operations Manager. Dave will be working alongside our existing management team to provide field and supervisory support to a team of engineers and will also be available to meet and discuss issues with clients directly. Also, Jay Barnes has been promoted to Field Technical Manager to ensure that any troubleshooting is dealt with quickly and efficiently. Finally, we welcome to the team Neil Khafaji, who is our new Technician filling the role vacated by Dave.

Did you know?

That whilst we often make new contract announcements in the newsletter a great number of our clients have been with us for many years? These include Malpro, the property arm of the Maltese High Commission, where we have been maintaining two passenger lifts and a goods lift since 2003. Property Manager Joyce O'Connor said, "We have used Amalgamated Lifts for over 8 years at both our Putney regional head office and our Embassy, Malta House, Piccadilly which houses the ambassador, chancery and a number of commercial high profile tenants such as Forbes inc. I doubt whether you will find a more pro-active company than Amalgamated Lifts. Amy Roper, our account manager is great to deal with, she is extremely responsive and always able to resolve any problem easily and effectively."
