Ask any one in our team
and they’ll say they’re
committed to providing
the best stairlifts. And
they’re true to their word.
Here at Stannah, our people are at the heart of everything we do.
No matter what their role, they share our passion for making world
class stairlifts.
Whether they are responsible for fitting a particular part or checking
each finished stairlift as it glides off the production line, each one
takes enormous care to ensure that every small detail is perfect.
This commitment and pride is inspired by the way they see our
customers - as individuals. Each employee understands that you
need to have complete faith that your stairlift will work exactly as it
should, so it can be everything you hope for.
It’s this personal involvement, along with our policy of making every
stairlift to order in our own Stannah facilities, that ensures that every
model that leaves our premises is as good as it can possibly be.
And there’s one vision that drives all these principles - the Stannah
pledge to be true to our word.
Everyone who works for us believes in what we stand for and is
committed to fulfilling our promise to you - to provide you with a
stairlift that offers all the quality, reliability and performance you
need to stay comfortable, safe and independent in your home.

down your stairs in the safest possible way. With this in mind, we
recommend our stairlifts are serviced every year by a Stannah
