Press release Kemp and StevensPictured is Geoff Thorne of Kemp and Stevens receiving the keys to his new Mondeo Estate removal vehicle from Coleman Milne.
Established in 1806, the company formerly known as Sewery was brought by Geoff’s Father and current director Ronald Thorne in 1961. Ronald worked as an apprentice for the same company from 1943 and now has ten staff working for him at their offices in Alton, Hampshire.
Adding to their current Mercedes fleet of two and Mark 10 Fords, Geoff says he is delighted with Kemp and Stevens’s newest addition, ‘I’m always pleased with my vehicles from Coleman Milne.’ Geoff was particularly interested in the new CM Classic hearse after seeing it on his factory tour, “the classic shape looks very stylish and the increased headroom is ideal for me, being that bit taller. I’m looking forward to trying it out very soon!”
All the team at Coleman Milne thank Ronald and Geoff for their valued business and wish them all the best for 2010.

T.W. Birks & Son of Holmfirth were the first company in the country to take delivery of Mark 11 Ford Fairlane vehicles from Westhoughton based coachbuilder Coleman Milne.
T.W. Birks & Son are longstanding customers of Coleman Milne having originally bought their first vehicle in 1970, a Ford Dorchester Limousine, when the average cost of a Funeral was just ﾣ114. The company was originally started by Thomas Wilfred Birks and has spanned over four generations notching up a number of ‘firsts’ along the way including being the first company in Huddersfield to have their own Chapel of Rest, as well as being the first Funeral Directors in the area to have on-site refrigeration storage facilities. The business is currently run by the great grandchildren of the founder; Neil, Alastair, Ian & Fiona.
Coleman Milne Sales & Marketing Director Geoff Hudson continues, ‘We have a long-established relationship with T.W. Birks & Son and it is quite remarkable really that they continue being first as they were also the first customers to take delivery of the Mark 10 Ford range as well as the facelift models in between. We would like to take this opportunity to wish them continued success and view the latest additions to their fleet as the ideal way to ensuring their presence at the forefront of the industry.’

This month see’s the release of the new, improved Coleman Milne Sure-Lift. The sure Lift can be installed into a variety of vehicles including the Mercedes Vito, the VW T5 Transporter and Vauxhall Vivaro.
Hydraulic cylinder lifts are replaced with electric four corner lifting mechanisms. The linear actuators make lift operations quieter. The twin decks are now finished with a new advanced material that is lighter, more durable, stronger and scratch resistant. It now also has storage for four stretchers.
The lift system is operated by controls that are mounted on the rear door or pillar. This can only be operated when the rear doors are open and the side door is closed, again this is built with maximum safety in mind. The new vehicle has ‘Magic eye detectors’ that ensure lift operation stops if the laser line on the lower deck is broken. Both of the new decks have 12 rollers, four adjustable coffin stops, folding bumper covers with slam lock action. At the rear of the vehicle warning lights are activated when the doors are open making it safe and discreet to use at all times.
Coleman Milne are seeing a huge demand for the vehicle that was launched earlier this month. ‘The Sure lift has evolved into an extremely smooth operator using the latest electronic technology, customers are really seeing the benefits of this new vehicle’ comments Area sales manager Graham Clow.
