Where can I get...

We're working on the assumption here that you're one of the lucky ones, working for a company that hasn't cancelled Christmas. So you've probably already ordered the office Christmas Tree. The only job now is to hang the lights. At Wakehurst Place, an Elizabethan Mansion set in 460 acres of parkland and gardens in West Sussex, the challenge was to decorate one of its trees — a 110ft Giant Redwood. In stepped access hire company Facelift with its 62m truck-mounted access platform that allowed electrical contractors to get the job done. Facelift has depots in Hickstead, Iver, Purfleet, Milton Keynes, Southampton and Liverpool.
