Uplifts, the dedicated homelift company of Stannah.

We’re Uplifts, and we’ve got lifts in our DNA. Led by Sam Stannah, a member of the 6th Generation of the Stannah family who still own and run Stannah, Uplifts was founded to mark a new chapter in the companies history, and to launch a new innovation, the Uplifts range of homelifts, to our customers around the world.

Here is our story.

Our story

Our business has evolved over the years, but we’re still committed to bringing innovation to the lift industry.

Lifts are in our DNA

We've been doing this a long time. In 1867, Joseph Stannah (Uplifts CEO Sam's great, great, great grandfather) founded Stannah Ltd, and registered his first patents for lift safety gears and hoists.

Moving on up

In 1975, Stannah launched the product that made us famous, the stairlift. Production began at our factories in Tiverton Street, London and later moved to Andover, Hampshire, where the Uplifts homelifts are made today.

New generation, new innovation

Almost 50 years after the introduction of the stairlift to our business, Sam launched Uplifts, Stannah's dedicated homelift company, determined to bring the same passion and innovation to the homelift industry as his father's, and his grandfather's generation have done with stairlifts.

A global business

With sales in over 40 countries, we’re always investing in premises to support our future. We’ve built a strong network of service branches outside London, manufacturing has extended to Tyneside, and we have a growing presence overseas.

Leading the way

As we look to the future, the sixth generation of the Stannah family is ready to step into a leadership role. Sam Stannah, our CEO, hopes to build on our legacy and is focused on building the Uplifts brand.  

Proudly made in the UK with a global standard of excellence.

From our busy HQ in Andover, Hampshire, we’re working hard to make homelifts the first choice for when the stairs get tough.
