January has seen the start of several major projects for Classic Lifts North East.
The first phase of works in the replacement of seven lifts at the Royal Victoria Infirmary Hospital in Newcastle commenced in January with three lifts already removed and work started on their replacement.
In parallel, Classic Lifts has started the North Tyneside Council lift replacement programme which involves replacing eight lifts and work on the Stagline Building registry office and Churchill Secondary School also got underway in the month.
Tony Simpson, our North East Project Manager with his wealth of knowledge and experience has already planned resources to ensure the successful delivery and completion of these contracts.
