“You’ll never win anything with kids!”

Published by in General on March 7th, 2012

“YOU’LL NEVER WIN ANYTHING WITH KIDS”
Alan Hansen, TV pundit – 19.08.1995

Alan Hansen famously made the statement “you’ll never win anything with kids”, well it was soon very clear to the whole world that this was not only a ridiculous, sweeping statement but was rather famously shown as being far from the truth!

Manchester-based lift specialists, Sheridan Lifts are pleased to announce the opening of “The Sheridan Academy” which has been designed and setup as the company embark on a large-scale expansion phase.

The Sheridan Academy will focus on developing and improving standards throughout the lift industry, by allowing its younger staff members to benefit from the experience that this company of 33 years has developed over its well-established trading history.

Sheridan Lifts are your local, national lift company, with divisions for all aspects of lifts – from lift maintenance to repair, to installations and beyond.

The first members of The Sheridan Academy have commenced employment with Sheridan Lifts, and we look forward to updating you all of how they are progressing.

More details will be released in due course, however, everybody at Sheridan Lifts is very excited by this development, and Commercial Director, Anthony Sheridan had this to say:

“It was earlier this year when an important light bulb turned on in my mind when a thought and method ran through my head that I just could not let go or ignore. If we take look at the way of the modern world and success stories we hear on a daily basis, there is a common theory and pattern which I totally believe in as I reflect and look at my own life and use this as an example:

I was reading a book by an inspirational figure given to me by father, but as much as I don’t share even a small modicum of the success as the author, I thought I was reading a book about myself.

His train of thought, mannerisms, ambitions, pure unadulterated passion and belief, his drive for success, hunger for achievement and the way that his brain and mind ticked on a daily basis. This is quite painful and embarrassing to write as I don’t want it to be perceived the wrong way. I read a quote in the book and again I just could not ignore:

“My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them…from the perspective of wanting to live life to the full, I felt that I had to attempt it.” Sir Richard Branson

The Sheridan family began from humble beginnings, having been born and bred from the local Council estates and for us to be where we are today has totally exceeded all expectations from outer circles, however, the collective vision of our family and the loyal team we employ, has never left a doubt in my own mind.

This year we have carried out a detailed look at our business model and restructured and revitalised it from the top to bottom, taking all of the experience that’s been passed down through generations. We have invested in industry experts and have added youth, hunger, passion, charisma and hard working young people.

We have not only employed very good experienced people but we have brought on board young guys with all of the above qualities except “experience” it was then we took the decision to launch “our” new wave of “experts”, which is a decision that we believe that will help us to not only maintain our position as a market-leading business, but to improve each year, and grow organically with our future managers from The Sheridan Academy at the forefront of business for many years to come. We want to train our own people, and utilise a blend of traditional skills and experience gained from our 33 years existence, mixed with the exciting new technologies of today.

I personally have a passion to build not only a profitable business but to build a business with a “quality product” with a reputation which is genuinely “unrivalled” and not just a turn of phrase used in a sales flyer! Together we will build a business that will make my Grand Father look down on us and be very proud of what he kick started all those years ago. With everybody at Sheridan Lifts sharing the same energy and enthusiasm, we all know that this kind of attitude and energy is contagious and helps people around you kick on with their own goals and objectives. We may not be perfect, but any customer using our business has the 100% guarantee that we will always endeavour to improve further on. The message from this newsletter is one of a business that is taking the necessary steps to grow rapidly as a national force, but by maintaining traditional values and ethics. Any client is assured of Director level contact at any stage, be that from a stair lift user through to the higher echelons of the lift industry.

The Sheridan Academy will allow all our new young people the opportunity to enhance their own personal skills and pursue their own career targets and ambitions in life. We believe that our kids are our future and we are bucking the trend that the national media portrays by not only providing meaningful employment, but by giving our future managers the chance to prove their own existence and worth to the business.

Just to name a few of the recent successful stories of the younger people in the world, there is a common pattern which you can see below:

• Sebastian Vettal:
The world’s youngest ever Formula 1 racing driver, The youngest ever world champion to win back to back, Breaking the great man and legend Nigel Mansells record at the age of 21

• Wayne Rooney :
The youngest ever player to score for England aged just 17

• Mike Tyson:
The youngest ever heavy weight boxing world champion

• Tiger Woods:
The youngest ever Major winner behind the great Jack Nicklaus

• Sir Richard Branson:
First became an established business man at the mere age of 16, now he is one of the most influential people on the planet

Lift maintenance companies

Published by in General on March 5th, 2012

Lift maintenance may not be the most appealing topic for companies to have at the forefront of their minds, but the importance of it cannot be underestimated by any corporation of any size if it wants to ensure the safety of their members of staff.

Problems with lifts are among one of the worst things that could go wrong for an office, as workers could find it impossible to make it to and from their desks, meaning productivity would be badly damaged if there was an issue with the machinery.

Even the smallest thing that could go wrong with a lift would pose issues for companies, as members of staff are not going to be happy at being stuck in the machine for a while until they are rescued, while a more serious accident does not bear thinking about.

Lift modernisation could be the best way for firms to make sure they are not risking the safety of their workers on a daily basis. If your lift was installed many years ago, the chances are it is in need of examination in order to ensure it is still safe to be used by members of staff.

It can be a very complicated area for a company to have to look at, so it is important to have a firm on board that is an expert in lift maintenance regulations. So give us a call here at Sheridan Lifts and allow our professional, reliable and friendly operators to give you more information on what we can do to ensure your lifts are up to date and will be running smoothly to make sure your employees get to work on time each day.

Lift maintenance is a vital part of running a workplace, so do not waste any more time and get in touch with us right away.

Lift Engineers are invaluable to future business financial savings

Published by in General on January 31st, 2012

When you look at a lift most people will see a mechanical, rectangular shaped object that helps you to get from floor to floor of a building. To a business owner, they should see a lift as a vital component in their property and must ensure they do their upmost to keep it in excellent working order.

There are many elements that make up a typical commercial property such as windows, roofs, doors and seating. What makes lifts different is that the previously mentioned elements can all be replaced or repaired without huge financial implications. If a lift breaks down due to poor maintenance it may need to be replaced, the costs will be sky high in comparison.

As with anything mechanical. faults can occur from time to time even with the best of care, for this reason alone choosing to work with Sheridan Lifts can ensure that all lift repairs are carried out to the highest standard and the future risk of any failures are minimised.

Personal injury is also a real concern and factor when it comes to lifts. Imagine a lift failure that caused multiple injuries to members of the public? The ramifications in terms of compensation pay outs, bad press and company image could damage the business for many years to come.

From start to finish choosing a professional and experienced lift installation and lift maintenance company such as Sheridan Lifts will make all the difference. They will ensure that right from the lift installation process through to on-going lift maintenance, things are as they should with your lift.

With this peace of mind, your business can continue to operate without having to worry about future financial repercussions caused by any potential lift problems. In the current financial climate your lift should be the last concern when it comes to profits and losses. Sheridan Lifts will help ensure it stays that way.

Don’t take your lifts for granted

Published by in General on January 18th, 2012

We all take the lifts for granted in modern multi storey buildings. Unless we are on a fitness drive, most of us never even consider taking the stairs. We simply step into the lift and assume it will whisk us efficiently and safely up to the floor we want. But just stop for a moment and consider the chaos that would occur if your lifts were to stop working, even for a day. Staff would soon be exhausted from all those stairs; deliveries would pile up in reception and movement between offices on different floors would grind to a halt.

Fortunately, at Sheridan Lifts, we never take lifts for granted. Our expert lift engineers work around the clock servicing and repairing lifts, to ensure that they are always working at peak efficiency to keep Britain’s offices, hotels and tower blocks running smoothly. We work behind the scenes and out of sight, oiling the cogs, refurbishing the motors and checking the cables, so that your lifts can continue to work reliably and dependably, week after week, year after year.

Our lift engineers can provide a wide range of support, with annual servicing and regular lift maintenance contracts to spot problems before they occur. What’s more, we’re always on call if anything does go wrong, with rapid response to solve any problems and fix any faults, to get your lifts working again fast.

Like the cleaners who work unseen through the night so that offices are miraculously clean every morning when the workers arrive, Sheridan Lifts can work with you to ensure that your lifts stay fully operational without anyone being inconvenienced or even noticing we are there.

People will always take lifts for granted, and at Sheridan Lifts, we think that’s exactly the way it should be.
