Today, at Halfpenny Green Vineyards, located just a few miles west of Dudley, 30 acres of meticulously managed vines thrive under Martin's care, producing award-winning wines crafted by his son, Clive. As a family-run business, the renowned shop, restaurant, deli, and tea room are operated by Clive’s wife, Lisa, offering visitors a delightful day out.

Invalifts recommended the MC2000 platform lift featuring an open-through configuration. The standard-sized unit, measuring 1250mm x 1590mm, complies fully with Part M of the Building Regulations and the Equality Act. To maximise natural light within the shop, a partially glazed shaft and glazed doors were provided. A hidden door closer was installed on the ground floor door leading into the existing shop to accommodate a retained beam; a standard closer would have obstructed this beam. The entire unit was mounted directly onto the concrete floor, and a small chequer plate ramp was fitted at the lower ground floor door in place of the traditional 60mm pit. The complete installation was accomplished in just three days.

The lift had to positioned to one side of the existing shaft as there was a beam at the top floor that cut across the space.
