About Julian Orchard
Marketing Assistant at Wessex Lifts.

Wessex Lifts have been operating in Romsey, Hampshire for over 40 years, innovating, designing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining home lifts and public lift solutions.
Since 1976, our product range has become more and more broad and diverse, now to the point that we can offer lift solutions in the form of through the floor lifts, lifting platforms for indoors and outdoors and lifts for public spaces and domestic dwellings.
Our designs enhance the lives of those around them. In the home, many of our through-floor lifts allow homeowners access to their upstairs. In commercial settings, many business owners have reaped the benefit of having a Wessex platform lift that allows their clientele overcome changes in level within their store.
