Pickerings Lifts Secures Lift Refurbishment Contract At Global Radio

Pickerings Lifts, the UK’s largest independent lift manufacturer based in Stockton on Tees, has secured a contract to upgrade three lift car interiors at Global Radio, the home of London’s Capital Radio. The upgrade works include the refinish of three lift cars – two passenger lifts and one goods lift -to a bespoke theme specified by the client’s design team Cann Creative. The refurbishment works will include removal of the existing car finishes and replacing them with back painted glass panels, new car ceilings and lighting, new car operating panels and landing stations with new indicators and push buttons. The refurbishment will take around one week per lift with some additional time for the landings and interface equipment. The two passenger lifts were completed first, to coincide with the opening of the new reception area at Global Radio on 19th December 2011. The goods lift works will commence early in 2012. Pickerings Lifts London South has worked on the project for almost two years in partnership with builders Woodhouse and was instructed by project managers Bollingbrook on behalf of Global Radio at the end of November 2011. Gary Rains, Pickerings Lifts customer service manager, said: “This is a fantastic achievement for the London South team. We are delighted to have been taken on to deliver the lift upgrade works for Global Radio. Having serviced the lifts for over 15 years we have built up an excellent client working relationship and are looking forward to enhancing the building’s lift access further.” Pickerings Lifts installed the lifts at Global Radio in 1995 and has been servicing them regularly ever since. Glyn Evans added: “This project is a perfect example of how Pickerings Lifts can work in close partnership with both clients and partner companies to deliver a high quality bespoke solution on budget and within a very tight timescale.”
