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.

Set up to do jobs others couldn't do safely the, then, new notepaper carried the promise 'Above, Below, Through ............ Anything!' and looking back over the last 24 years I think that has proved to be pretty close to the mark.
