Easi UpLifts opens Manchester Depot

Easi UpLifts has opened a new depot in Manchester as part of its UK/European expansion programme.

“Using a safe modern fleet, efficient working practices and up-to-date technologies, Easi UpLifts’ customers in the North West can avail of a one-stop-shop on their doorstep to cater for all their access needs.”
