A GROWING Keighley stairlift company has opened a new town-centre unit.

A1 Stairlift Services has taken on premises in Marley Street, in addition to its existing South Street site.

The firm has seen its workforce soar from five to 15 in the past two years and more people will be recruited in the coming weeks.

Managing director Simon Harrison said: "It's been an exciting year for the business.

"We've taken on the additional unit and made new appointments to accommodate growth.

"The site in Marley Street has allowed us to develop a smoother system for preparing stairlifts and it's given us more space for the growing head office and administration team.

"We're also looking for more engineers.

"Thanks to the success of our mobility products arm, we're now using the South Street site to create a bigger showroom."

The new-look showroom will host a range of products for people to try before buying, including mobility scooters, adjustable beds, rise and recline chairs, stairlifts and living aids.
