My name is Andy Wood, and I’m the Senior Regional Sales Manager for the North UK. I’ve been part of the lift industry for over six years, with a strong background in technical sales across both OEMs and independent lift companies. Prior to joining AVIRE, I held sales management roles where I developed lasting relationships and gained valuable insight into customer requirements and market dynamics.

I joined AVIRE in February 2019, drawn by the company’s innovative product range and its customer-centric approach. The opportunity to work with a respected brand that is leading the way in lift safety and digital transformation was a major attraction.

A key highlight of my position is the variety – each day brings new challenges. Every customer, building, and installation is different, which keeps things dynamic. I particularly enjoy collaborating with customers to understand their specific needs and helping them identify the best solutions.

Over the years, I’ve found great satisfaction in supporting customers through complex technical and regulatory environments. It’s rewarding to know that the solutions we provide make a tangible difference in safety and performance. I aim to be more than just a sales contact – I strive to be a trusted advisor.

Customers tell us they value our expertise, responsiveness, and the ongoing support we provide. It’s not just about selling a product – it’s about guiding them from specification right through to after-sales service.

One standout experience was working with a customer to implement a remote monitoring solution across a complex portfolio of lifts from various brands. With the close collaboration of our technical support and product teams, we identified the ideal combination of AVIRE hardware and software, simplified the installation process, and ensured full compliance, all under a tight deadline. The result was a smooth rollout and a very satisfied client.
