The inaugural Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) Awards 2018 is already proving to be a resounding success based on member entries, according to LEEA CEO Ross Moloney.
“I am overwhelmed by the positive response – not only with the number of entries, but also the high standard of the submissions,” Moloney continued.
“This indicates real interest in the awards and what they represent, which is recognising LEEA members’ excellence and showcasing it to the global lifting industry and to end user markets.
“We are very excited about the LEEA Awards event, which takes place alongside LiftEx 2018 on the evening of November 14 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Milton Keynes.
“This will be a completely new experience for LEEA and we anticipate a great night.”
