The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) is supporting the Global Lifting Awareness Day (GLAD), which takes place on July 9, 2020.

GLAD2020 hopes to spread awareness about raising standards throughout the global lifting industry and to end user markets and the LEEA is inviting its members to take part in the campaign by promoting the day on their social media channels using the hashtag #GLAD2020.

“GLAD on July 9 will be a very important day for the global Lifting Industry,” said LEEA ceo Ross Moloney. “All too often our industry is hidden, ignored or unrecognised by end users and certainly by some of the supply chains that we serve. GLAD is about getting the whole industry and the associated supply chains to recognise the importance of high standards in lifting, the significance of quality and how to ensure lifting best practice."

Mark Bridger of Bridger Howes added: “We invite everybody to join in with #GLAD2020 on July 9, 2020. This is all about bringing the industry together to tell the world about high standards and the things in lifting they are GLAD about – such as innovation, standards, collaboration, technological change or even something lifting related you have seen that has amused you.”
