Welcome to the first edition of Lift Industry News. I’m delighted to have been asked to be the first guest editor in my capacity as Chair of the CIBSE Lifts Group.

This magazine is a great initiative. As a UK-based magazine with a global outlook, its purpose is to raise the profile of the UK lift sector – its industry, education, research and charities. With lots of changes in the lift industry, it’s invaluable to have the ability to push news, knowledge, information and opinion out into the market, as well as giving another avenue for LEIA and CIBSE Lifts Group to disseminate news.
