Three Successful Lift Modernisations
Three successful lift modernisations completed within a state-of-the-art commercial building located in the heart of London
This project involved repainting the entrances, refurbishing the lift cars to complement the building’s sleek, modern aesthetic, and upgrading key machine components to enhance performance and reliability. The result is a smooth transition between floors.
Alyson Roper Spotlight
Alyson Roper, one of our longest serving office employees, was kind enough to share some insights into her role as Service Office Manager at Amalgamated Lifts
Alyson has been in the lift industry for an incredible 18 years and has been with Amalgamated Lifts since 2010, starting her journey in the business as Customer Service Adviser, progressing into the role of Live Response Coordinator, and now with a furthering promotion to her current role.
We asked Alyson what her typical day looks like and she explained “There is never a dull moment and there is always something to do!” She spends the majority of her time sorting parts and booking them in, arranging technician visits and supporting all Contract Supervisors in the office
We asked what skills have been most critical to the success in her role, and she credits her people skills and understanding of “helping meet clients’ needs and knowledge of parts to identify solutions”
When reflecting on the industry and changes, Alyson acknowledges she “has witnessed a noticeable growth in female representation, which is great to see” and whilst there has been an increase in customer expectations, she says it is reassuring to know that AL is continuously developing our in-house systems and technologies to accommodate both office and client demands
The best work advice she has received and lives by is “Act now and don’t leave it until tomorrow”
Outside of work, Alyson enjoys “Cooking, spending time with my family, and watching movies.” It goes without saying at all company events, Alyson’s baked goods are always appreciated and delicious!
Amalgamated Lifts Limited proudly announce their Royal Warrant Appointment to His Majesty King Charles III
 Amalgamated Lifts Limited proudly announce their Amalgamated Lifts joins approximately 600 companies who exclusively hold this title and are one of only three lift companies to hold this prestigious accolade. This appointment is an honour and demonstration of our positioning in the UK Lift Industry providing our services to the Royal Households. We also join the exclusive Royal Warrant Holders Association, and furthermore, we have received approval to display the Royal Coat of Arms alongside our branding and proudly intend to do so. This prestigious endorsement is a reflection on the companies:
MD John Brand, set his sights on becoming a Royal Warrant holder when producing Amalgamated Lifts’ strategic vision document in 2015/16. Within 2 years we were awarded our first Royal appointment with a project at Windsor Castle. Within 5 years, the maintenance contract for the Royal Households followed. The goal was to demonstrate AL’s quality and capabilities by obtaining such a unique and prestigious endorsement. The award of our Royal Warrant is a testament to John, our leader and the resilient team he has built around him to gain such a high accolade.  John Brand says, “Of all the achievements in our 38 year history, this is undoubtedly the most prestigious. It is an exceptional honour to be awarded the Royal Warrant and one we are immensely proud to hold. We extend our sincere thanks to His Majesty The King for this recognition and to all those within the Royal Household we have had the privilege of working with over the years. This accolade reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering quality safely, underpinned by ethical and sustainable practices. I congratulate our fantastic team for the achievement of this honour, which is testament to the professionalism and dedication shown amongst our people. We look forward to proudly displaying the Royal Coat of Arms alongside our logo and continuing to uphold the excellent standards in everything that we do.” A special thank you and recognition goes to Katie Jukes, Terri Webb, and Joshua Wilson for the successful Royal Warrant application bid, the Service Team who delivered the outstanding maintenance contract and the Construction Team who continue to deliver lift modernisation, and new installation works for the Royal Households. We are particularly proud and feel very privileged of the relationship we have developed with the Royal Households over the past eight years. Working on landmark buildings, such as Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace, Kensington Palace, Clarence House, Marlborough House, and Windsor Castle has been an absolute honour. Our company has supported the Royal Household during some of the most monumental and historical occasions in recent years such as:
  The history of the Royal Warrant can be traced back to medieval times, when competition for Royal favour was intense and the Monarch had the pick of the country’s best tradespeople. By the 15th century, the Lord Chamberlain, as head of the Royal Household, formally appointed tradespeople with a Royal Warrant of Appointment – a practice that continues to this day. Royal warrants are only granted to individuals or companies that have made a continuing and significant supply of goods and or/services over a minimum trading period, and successfully pass the strict and vigorous application process. This truly is a momentous achievement that our company can feel proud of.   |
Red Nose Day
The team came together and got creative, designing their own noses and feasting on cakes to successfully raise over £100 in support of Comic Relief.
Proof that serious fundraising doesn’t always require serious faces!
Women In Lifts
We had a wonderful afternoon at the inaugural Women In Lifts networking event last Friday. It was such an inspiring event aimed at recognising and celebrating women in the industry.

We look forward to attending the next event!
