Working at Acorn Stairlifts

A little bit about Acorn

Acorn Stairlifts is one of the world's largest independent manufacturers and suppliers of stairlifts, with sales in over 70 countries and offices on three continents.

With international opportunities across all its departments, including media, human resources, export, engineering and IT, the firm is continually expanding and investing in its workforce.

There is a strong focus on retention and progression, where employees are encouraged to develop to their full potential. Acorn achieved the 'Investors in People' standard in 2006, and continues to invest in its most valuable resource - its people.

Employing almost 1,700 people worldwide, Acorn Stairlifts is proud to design, manufacture and sell its own superior DC-powered stairlift. Our team of sales personnel are responsible for selling tens of thousands of stairlifts and we like to reward them with one of the best employment packages.

New employees complete a thorough induction and training programme, allowing them to build on their existing skills and improve their personal profiles.

Steeton Head Office

The Conservation Area of Steeton makes a pleasant contrast to inner-city working. With excellent transport links to Leeds, Bradford and Skipton, the location also offers free parking to all employees and a greenfield site, ideal for relaxing on the lawns during lunch breaks. Should the weather not be obliging, there is a well-appointed cafeteria and a breakfast/lunch sandwich bar, offering employees plenty of on-site facilities to avoid the need to go further afield.
