Luminar Selects Leading Lift Provider for Flagship Oceana Nightclub -
Bespoke Designs Meet Unique Demands of Existing Site
Caterham, Surrey, 8 March 2006: Pickerings Lifts, the UK's leading independent lift manufacturing, installation and maintenance company, has been selected by Luminar plc for goods, access and passenger lifts at its new flagship Oceana nightclub, bar and restaurant development in Leeds.
Since its founding in 1988, Luminar has grown to become the largest late-night leisure operator in the UK, with such major brands as Chicago Rock Cafe and Jumpin Jaks. Its multi award-winning Oceana nightclubs have a capacity in excess of 2,000 and incorporate authentic themed areas, taking the visitor around the world - from Tokyo to New York, Reykjavik to Sydney and beyond.
The new five-storey Leeds entertainment complex includes two passenger lifts, a platform lift for wheelchair users linking two levels on the third floor and a fast goods lift at the rear of the refurbished building. 'For both
the passenger and goods lifts we had to provide bespoke designs to meet the unique requirements of the existing site,' says Pickerings sales engineer, Tony Avis-Smith.
'The goods lift, for example, needed to make maximum use of the space within the existing shaft: in the case of the passenger lifts, the designs had take account of especially shallow pit dimensions. At the same time, we had to complete design, manufacture and installation within a shortened time schedule, in order to meet the brought-forward launch date,' he adds.
The new development builds on the well-established relationship between the two companies, as Pickerings currently provides comprehensive maintenance and service support across Luminar's complete nightclub operation in the UK.
'We already had a very positive experience of working with Pickerings,' confirms technical & development director, Tony Pinkstone, 'and it was the only lift company which could meet our demanding design requirements within very tight time constraints.'
