About Stannah


Who We Are
Our experience of the lift industry is virtually unsurpassed. In the 1860s, Joseph Stannah began making lifts to move ships' cargo, and today our business has expanded to include passenger lifts, goods lifts and, more recently, the supply, installation and maintenance of bespoke large lifts, escalators and moving walkways.
The Stannah Group is a long standing British, family-owned company with fifth generation members of the Stannah family still very much hands-on in running the business.
All our products are manufactured in the UK and quality assured to ISO 9001. We understand the requirements for providing disabled access to public buildings and have a range of Equality Act and Part M compliant solutions. We are able to supply our products and product support quickly and efficiently, with over 320 lift engineers based in eleven branches across the UK, ensuring our customers are supported locally.
Over the years we’ve developed a reputation for honesty, integrity and commitment to the quality customers have come to expect across all our products.
