150 years of engineering excellence

150 years and five generations on since Joseph Stannah started his business in the London docks Stannah is still a business with lifting expertise at its core. Today we are a diverse group making life easier for people in all walks of life: a commuter getting from a platform to the concourse in a train station, a café owner sending hot food from a basement kitchen to the dining area, a warehouseman shifting goods from the storeroom to the shopfloor or a retired school teacher gliding effortlessly up and down their stairs at home.

Our 150th year is not just an opportunity to look back at what we have achieved, but more so an opportunity to look forward and be clear about our determination to thrive for the next 150 years. We won’t be changing our core values but we will be doing even more to foster innovation and continuous improvement within the business, to explore new markets and to continue to build our brand in both the commercial and domestic spheres as the lift company to rely on.
