How we became Hamilton Elevators

Managing Director Alex Brandon, a keen sailor, was enjoying some down time at Hamilton Island Race Week in 2009 with fellow sailors who included some leading architects and builders.

Knowing Alex was working with a major international elevator company, the discussion turned to the challenges developers faced with price and inflexibility of the market leaders. “Why don’t you start your own company?” they suggested. And a business idea was born over a few drinks post-race at Hamilton Island. Hence the name – Hamilton Elevators.

One simple word describes our approach: Easy.

Today Hamilton Elevators operates throughout Victoria and Queensland with a partner business in New South Wales. The business is led by some of the most experienced people in the industry which ensures optimum results in the key areas of operation whether a new installation, service, modernisation or replacement.
