Behind every great business is a story. Behind ours is a family.
This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the fathers, sons, and families who help shape who we are, both at home and at work. Peter and Margaret Whiffen founded Adaptalift Group more than 45 years ago with a vision to build a business that put people and relationships first.

Today, that legacy continues with son Lindsay Whiffen as CEO, alongside Father Peter Whiffen, now as Executive Chairman.

From father to son, generation to generation, the business has evolved considerably, but the importance of family, people and doing things the right way has never changed.

Happy Father’s Day from our family to yours.
