About Lloyds British
The Industry Experts

A leading provider of lifting and equipment inspection services in the UK, Lloyds British has been providing specialist testing, inspection, maintenance, certification and training services for the lifting services industry for over 200 years.

Founded in 1812 by the Admiralty to certify anchors and lifting equipment, we have built a market-leading brand and reputation based on excellence, expertise and customer peace of mind. In December 2016 Lloyds British was acquired by Speedy, bringing additional specialist lifting services and expertise to the Speedy business.
