LIFE'S a beach for Acorn Stairlifts worker Martin Ridsdale.
While Britain shivered in an unseasonal wintry blast, he was promoting the Steeton company's products in Hawaii.
He toured the islands with a sprinter van and FastTrack system, a mobile warehouse carrying pieces with which an installer can build a bespoke curved stairlift rail onsite.
Acorn company secretary, Dave Belmont, said: "We have FastTrack vans in use by our subsidiaries all over the world, but Hawaii is the most remote place so far.
"It just shows how our unique FastTrack system allows us to go to places other firms cannot reach!"
Multi award-winning Acorn is one of the biggest stairlift suppliers in the world, exporting to over 80 countries – including the USA, where it is the market leader.
