Author Bio
Robin Cheeseright has been in the vertical transportation and façade access industries for more than 30 years. At Otis, he progressed through the organization to senior management positions, which required involvement in all aspects of lift and escalator sales, manufacturing, installation and servicing. Through senior operational and staff roles—commercial, service and marketing management, Cheeseright was responsible for the commercial aspects of delivering and maintaining many complex projects onto the business’s maintenance portfolio. In addition, he consulted on, and in many cases was responsible for launching global products and services into the UK and Irish market.
As one of the founding partners of D2E, Cheeseright was instrumental in growing the firm into an internationally recognized consultancy that has a proven track record in the design of vertical transportation and façade access solutions for complex and tall buildings. He has been influential in the design of the bespoke servicing contracts these types of buildings require. This has been achieved through a clear understanding of the clients’ requirements, an approach that supports the design of the building and an empathy with client teams. Cheeseright served as the chair of the CTBUH Vertical Transportation Committee from 2016 to 2020.
