“It can be quite frightening being stuck in a lift and there is nothing worse than being stuck in there for ages waiting for the lift engineers to arrive! Luckily the engineers at Sheridan Lifts came almost instant and were there on the phone to me when I used the call button!
Well done to the lift engineers here who rescued the trapped passengers!”
