Abstract
This paper presents the life of Howard Marryat (1871-1944) who founded Marryat & Place at the age of 20 and Marryat & Scott in 1919 which went on to become one of the most successful lift companies in the world and now owned by KONE.
He was also involved with Marryat & Place and a founding partner with Dewhursts.
His work rate and charitable giving was phenomenal and this paper will demonstrate how his surname became synonymous with the lift industry.
