24 Today!

Posted on March 9, 2011 by Up and Under Group

Today we are celebrating 24 years of Up and Under.  Established in 1987, while Andy was carrying out sewer and manhole surveys in Southampton, it was spring 1988 before we did our first rope access inspection, on two tower blocks in Guildford.

Our first exhibition



Up and Under One – On the Snowdon Mountain Railway



Autumn 1988 – skint, huge debts then somebody  crashed into Battersea Bridge, phew! The rest they say is history ;o)



Years later, Simon’s first job and a step into the future.

Thanks to everyone who has made the past 24 years not only possible, but also fun.
