In response to growing demand from customers around the UK, Birmingham-based engineering group Adi has announced the launch of a new division.

Adi VT Lift & Escalator Consultancy (www.adiltd.co.uk) will draw on over 40 years of experience in the vertical-transport (VT) sector to devise five-year maintenance, servicing and replacement plans for customers, so they can budget with clarity and know that their VT equipment complies with all regulations.

The creation of this new division is part of a strategy to expand the group’s workforce from 600 to over 1,000 people and more than double its turnover.
