Twickenham Rugby Stadium is dedicated to ensuring full accessibility across its venue. When the Level 2 bar required enhanced access for wheelchair users, they turned to The Stair Climbing Company for a solution. 

Richard Battley (HSE Manager) reached out to The Stair Climbing Company, experts in providing high-quality Stair Climbers tailored to meet the needs of diverse facilities. Following an assessment visit between Richard and Chris Persey (Director of Operations at The Stair Climbing Company), the right access solution was identified for Twickenham’s needs. 

The Access Solution 

The Skyline Lux was trialled with the Twickenham team and was found to be the perfect solution for overcoming the Level 2 access challenge. Fully wrapped in England Rugby colours and logos, the Stair Climber is now a crucial part in ensuring the venue is accessible.   

Richard Battley, HSE Manager at England Rugby, shared his thoughts on the solution: 

“At Twickenham Stadium, we are committed to making the venue accessible to all. The design of the stadium presents some challenges, particularly around the Level 2 bars, which had limited access due to external stairs. The recent addition of the stair climber has provided an effective and reasonable adjustment, allowing wheelchair users quick and safe access. This not only enhances the customer experience but also provides a reliable solution for emergency evacuations during our C&E events. It’s certainly been a worthwhile investment in our ongoing inclusive access improvements.” 

Ongoing Support and Service 

We continue to provide dedicated support to Twickenham, ensuring that our Stair Climbers are regularly serviced, LOLA tested, and that staff remain fully trained and confident in operating the equipment. 

Improving Access in Facilities 

Stair climbers are a game-changing solution for improving access in any facility. They empower individuals with mobility challenges to navigate stairs effortlessly, making spaces more inclusive and accessible. Integrating Stair Climbers into a facility’s design is an essential step toward creating a welcoming environment for all users.
