Continuing our long term investment in the Suspended Access and Fall Protection market, we have recently completed the construction of our facility in Lincolnshire. Grantham has been the home of Zarafa Height Solutions for the past 10 years. Land was acquired to build a bespoke building suited to the nature of our services. Located minutes from both the A1M and Grantham station and the main east coast line, it offers a great base to London and the North to support customer projects. The building includes high quality workshop facilities, high level testing beams, equipment storage, training facilities and a modern office space for our engineering, fall protection and operational teams.
