Anglian Lifts named as a finalist in the Peterborough Business Excellence Awards 2022
Mobility equipment retailer Anglian Lifts has been nominated for a 2022 Peterborough Business Excellence Award.
The Peterborough-based business was established last year with an aim to set a new benchmark in customer service and transparency within the stairlift sector while providing a diverse range of solutions from the industry’s best brands.
The annual ceremony celebrates the achievements of an array of different businesses working in multiple industries.
There are 12 categories that will highlight the stand-out people and businesses in Greater Peterborough who are developing the economy, generating employment and are making a positive contribution to the local community.
The awards final will take place on 24 November 2022 at the Holiday Inn West Peterborough and will be attended by over 250 business people.
After completing an interview with the judging panel, Anglian Lifts were selected as a finalist for the Best New Business/Start Up of the Year category within the prestigious awards ceremony.
Phillip Rice, Managing Director of Anglian Lifts, commented: “We are very proud of the team here to say the least, becoming a finalist is a fantastic achievement.”
Phillip is a veteran of the mobility solution industry, with Anglian Lifts benefiting from his decades of experience in the industry plus the expertise of the entire team from his previous company where he was managing director.
He and Oliver Mellor started Anglian Lifts in June 2021 out of necessity after the purchase of a local company fell through. They decided to begin trading with the ‘placeholder’ company in order to safeguard six jobs in the local area.
After this bumpy start, and with several salaries to cover from a standing start, the company has grown quickly in its first year. The opportunity that the company is targeting is the growing demand for stairlifts and home elevators.
