Stannah – solving the people-moving puzzle in Jigsaw
Helping Jigsaw maintain its reputation as the third largest label in the UK, a Stannah Maxilift passenger lift is easing the flow of fashionistas around the brand new store in Liverpool One. The £1billion, state-of-the-art retail destination and the largest city centre regeneration project in Europe has retained its key historic buildings. Jigsaw is housed within one of them – the former County Palatine Building on the corner of School Lane and Paradise Street, next to Peter’s Lane Arcade.
AMD Interior Architecture themed the interior to reflect a grand house with individual rooms that blend original classical features with contemporary flair to create a shabby-chic paradise oozing ‘decadence and faded grandeur’. The overall effect is comfortably reassuring and a world away from the bright, new city outside.
Finished in satin stainless steel with a suspended downlighter ceiling and a half- height mirror to the rear wall, the 10- person Maxilift complements the feature curved staircase to ease access throughout the two-storey store. Hydraulic
drive delivers smooth operation and, with the motor room cabinet housed in the
basement, Jigsaw’s streamlined décor is uninterrupted by lift workings. The lift also helps the premises’ owners meet with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010. Jigsaw Deputy Manager, Nicola Clark, comments: “Investment and regeneration have given the retail business a new lease of life in Liverpool One, and anything that
improves the shopping experience is a welcome asset. The Stannah Maxilift passenger lift is certainly helping this brand new branch of Jigsaw to establish itself as
a fashion hotspot for bang-on-trend buyers.”

Apollo Launches Auto-Aligning Beam Detector with Laser Alignment
Apollo Fire Detectors Ltd. is pleased to announce the addition of the conventional Auto-Aligning Beam Detector with Laser Alignment to their extensive range of fire detection products. With a range of 8m to 100m, it has been specifically designed to be easy to install and maintain, and excels in detecting smoke in large, open areas such as warehouses, hangars, theatres, churches and sports centres.
During installation, a visible laser is used for initial alignment of the beam. An automatic, motorised auto-alignment feature then makes sure that the beam remains on target, counteracting the effects of building movement. Automatic optimisation technology also compensates for dust buildup on the lens, ensuring false alarms are avoided and the system continues to work effectively over time. Up to four detectors can operate from one single low- level controller, minimising installation costs and allowing full control of the detector heads without the need for expensive lifting gear.
The product has worldwide approvals including EN54:12 and can be loop powered using a Switch Monitor or Mini Switch Monitor, enabling it to be easily added on as an extension to existing Apollo analogue addressable systems. Email:
