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.
