The full move over to the new premises was complete by June 19 2006. The new site offers 14,000 sq ft of offices and industrial space. Five new jobs have already been created with further expansion and new jobs expected in the future.
Jonathan Moorhouse, managing director, said: “Our continued growth and development has been partly fuelled by the partnership we announced with French manufacturer Verlinde towards the end of last year.”
Lifting Solutions is now one of only a dozen or so UK distributors of the full Verlinde range. One of the most significant outcomes of the deal is Lifting Solutions’ ability to now offer a full crane service – from design to manufacture and installation, right
through to training, maintenance and repairs.
Moorhouse added: “Lifting Solutions has now doubled in size in the last five years and intends to keep pushing on to stay one step ahead of the competition. We’re sorry to be leaving Platts Common which has served us well for many years, however, there just wasn’t the capacity we required and a move was essential if we were going to be able to accept all the orders that were coming in.”
