Lift and Engineering Services Ltd was founded in 1983 within the West Midlands’ industrial heart known all over the world as “The Black Country” and has since continued to develop and grow with additional offices in London, East Midlands and Staffordshire being established to meet the demanding requirements of its long standing and loyal customer base. LES Ltd is a privately owned, family run traditional Black Country business employing local people and with active apprentice and work experience schemes continually in force - despite the recession.

“Investment in people secures our sustainability and that of the local community”

Not only operating as a bespoke manufacturer of goods and passenger lifts, LES Ltd has a comprehensive service and repair and emergency service facility for lifts of any make on a 24/7 x 365 days a year basis. The Company is comfortable with contracts ranging from£15k to £3m thanks to a highly trained, multi-skilled workforce employing traditional but nevertheless costeffective craftsmanship.

“Large enough to cope – small enough to care”

In excess of 70% of the structure of all lifts are actually crafted within the 25,000 square ft manufacturing and head office centre at Cradley Heath and a comprehensive range of OEM and lift industry standard replacement parts are kept in constant stock in order to minimise customer downtime and business interruption. Specialist lift car structural items can be manufactured to order and within hours if required. Parts that LES Ltd do not make themselves are such items as control panels, drive units and door operating systems which are sourced from carefully chosen UK manufacturers and suppliers to their stringent in-house design office specifications,

“A quality lift is the sum of its quality parts”

LES Ltd operates a lean manufacturing policy and is proud to boast that skilled employees rarely ever leave for pastures anew. In fact, the few that have done so, have since returned to their employ. The Company have just converted a large area of its head office warehouse into a comfortable training suite and have, for a number of years, employed a full time qualified Health, Safety and Training Officer as part of their senior management team. This, in itself, is extremely unusual for a Company with just less than 100 employees!

Step into the head office reception at Cradley Heath and you will be overawed by the impressive display of framed employee qualification certificates, safety awards and quality-mark certification. “The Company was awarded ISO 14001 Environmental Standard in September, 2010” Lift and Engineering Services Ltd is NHS, Network Rail and Local Authority approved with specialist knowledge and experience of installing lifts in Grade I and II listed buildings. They provide national coverage and specialise in full DDA product and installation needs.
