History

Before opening his YouTube channel

Matt has been interested in Lift's since he was a young child, when his grandmother would take him round the Lift's in Bracknell town center. Secretly he was afraid of Lift's, but there was something that makes him liked and interested in Lift's.

Opening his YouTube channel

Matt opened his YouTube channel "mrmattandmrchay" on September 7, 2008, and on the same date he uploaded his first Lift video which was the Lift in Ramsgate Beach. On 16 September, 2008, he uploaded his first lift tour video which took place in Bracknell town centre, UK. Since then, he has done several lift tours from various towns in the UK. Because of increasing lift modernisation and old Lift's are now becoming rare, he only film Lift's that are old, rare, or modern ones that have characters (for example; Mitsubishi lifts).

Recently, he did few videos of exploring abandoned buildings with derelict Lift's. He sometimes makes Lift videos with his son, Chay.
