Facelift, in its 22nd year has revenues of around £13 million and employs 160 staff, in Liverpool, Harrogate, Birmingham, Southampton, Hickstead, East and West London. .

Leicester said ‘I’m genuinely pleased to reach this landmark and am quietly confident with the companies’ present market place position. We’re continually looking for further new equipment to add to our fleet, as well as additional sites, but of course we’re also looking forward to the next 500’.

Facelift recently spent £1 million of its planned capital expenditure for 2007 of £5 million, with Nifty Lift for a mix of Height Rider 15, 17 and 21 metre self propelled boom lifts.
