Introduction

We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic about engineering and is keen to learn. Whether you've enjoyed Design & Technology at school, worked on vehicles, carried out DIY projects, or simply have a passion for engineering, we'd love to hear from you!

About the Employer

We have been manufacturing stairlifts in the North of England since 1996. If you are looking for a company with an international reputation, and products that offer years of reliable use at realistic prices, then look no further.

We are committed to supplying the highest level of quality, safety, comfort, and reliability. Every stairlift is custom built, designed to satisfy the needs of you and your home. Before your stairlift leaves our warehouse, it is rigorously tested and comes with its very own signed certificate of quality.

We will always assist you in choosing the very best option for you or your loved one’s circumstances, helping to provide a better quality of life, and peace for mind for everyone concerned.

At Platinum, we believe that the best place to buy a stairlift is from a company in your local area. Choosing one can be an overwhelming decision, so it’s nice to know that company that supplied it is right around the corner and on hand to address any concerns. We hand pick our partners, and work with them to carefully train their staff and installers.
