Andrea Barnes 1972 – 2025

Table of Contents

Here, we would like to pay tribute to Andrea Barnes not just our colleague but a dear friend. Firstly, our condolences go out to her family and friends. Andrea was a wonderful woman who touched many people’s hearts and who will be dearly missed by everyone here at Obam, as well as her long-term partner Chris, her sister, parents, and, of course, Casie, Winnie, Peanut and Pepper, her dogs, who were one of her passions in life alongside Formula One.

Andrea had been with the company almost from the start, working as our Office Manager for twenty-four years, and it’s hard to imagine how the place would run without her. She was an integral part of Obam’s running philosophy and direction. 

Andrea, thank you for your years of commitment and dedication to Obam. We have lost not only our Office Manager but also a well-sought-after friend.

Nominate Someone For A Free Stairlift

Obam Stairlifts celebrates its 25th birthday in August 2025 by giving back to the community through a special Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The family business is donating two new straight stairlifts to nominated causes in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, marking a quarter-century of helping people stay in the homes they love.

Anyone can nominate someone they know who would benefit from a stairlift donation. You might know an elderly neighbour struggling with stairs, a family member recovering from surgery, or someone with mobility challenges who can’t afford this life-changing equipment. The nomination process is simple and open to everyone.
