ABOUT US
Principal Lift Consultant:
Leslie Charles Guest (Managing Director)
I am a qualified lift engineer to NVQ Level 4 Equivalent with 40 years’ experience of lift design and maintenance contract management in both the public and private sectors.
I have in the past run my own company which provided Health & Safety and Lift Consultancy advice in accordance with relevant Acts, British Standards and Regulation.
I believe very strongly in continual personal development and ensure that all staff undergo training in whatever area is necessary for them to excel in their role and feel valued as they are and should be.
It is through my experience of running my own business that I recognised the importance of close liaison with customers, end users, supply chain and stakeholders.
I believe that this experience has given me the skills to deal with all types of people at any level and has enabled me to develop effective communication tools, work unsupervised and consider myself an innovative self-starter.
My experiences have shown me the importance of cash flows, careful financial management, making the most out of limited budgets and thinking outside of the box to achieve your aims
I am always fully committed to every role I have worked on. I am positive, decisive, and reliable and revel in tough situations.

Technical Director:
Dave Elliott
I have 30 years’ experience across all sectors of the lift industry, starting as an apprentice for a multi-national lift manufacturer.
I spent over ten years in the technical roles, becoming qualified to NVQ Level 4 in both service technician roles and new installation testing and commissioning. Through these roles I have gained a high level of knowledge of different equipment installed across the UK market.
Looking to improve my knowledge and pass on some of what I had learnt over the years, I became the technical training manager for one of the largest lift and escalator companies in the world, responsible for the training and improvement of over 300 field staff and reintroducing and the running of the apprentice scheme.
I was then given the opportunity to open a new branch office for an independent lift company. We started with a small office and one engineer with a £200k turnover in year one. With a lot of hard work and pulling on my previous experience, this turned into an office with a multi-million pound turnover each year and had over 30 direct employees.
From this experience, I have gained the knowledge of the importance of a high level of communication to help customers plan in advance for the replacement and upgrade of equipment within available budgets, to maintain reliability and compliance for their lifts.
Dave is the latest addition to our team.
