Rewarding Excellence and Raising Standards
The LEEA Awards 2018 will be bestowed during the prestigious LiftEx 2018 Awards Dinner in a celebration of the Lifting Equipment industry’s achievements.
THE LEEA Awards 2018 is a new award scheme developed by the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association to reward its members and their employees who have made significant contributions to lifting standards in our industry. Winners will be announced and presented during the LiftEx 2018 Awards Dinner, 14 November 2018 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, within the Arena MK complex in Milton Keynes, which plays host to LiftEx 2018.
LEEA is excited to welcome Matt Dawson, MBE, as speaker at the LiftEx Gala Dinner and presenter of the LEEA Awards. From well-known rugby player to a national TV personality, Matt Dawson was a contributor to England’s victory at the 2003 World Cup and is Team Captain on BBC1’s much-loved ‘A Question of Sport’.
“The LEEA Awards play a vital role in promoting the gold standard offered by LEEA members,” said Ross Moloney, CEO of LEEA. “They are also crucial in terms of our industry’s sustainability by promoting the impressive work performed by our members and encouraging new recruits.” The awards scheme includes eight distinct categories open to industry for applications. These categories are now open for entry. Members can apply at: liftex.org. Closing date for entries is midnight, 31 August 2018. Award winners will be announced at the Awards Dinner in addition to the presentation of the Harry Brown Memorial Shield.
An expert panel will evaluate all entries. Being experts in the field ensures a technically authoritative judging panel.
KEVIN HOLMES AWARD Kevin Holmes, the late Board Director and Chairman of LEEA’s Learning and Development Committee, consistently demonstrated a passion for developing people in the lifting equipment industry. In his honour, LEEA has designed this award to reward companies, teams and individuals who display excellence in people development. The judging panel will look for people development initiatives that are innovative and bring a tangible business benefit.
APPRENTICE OF THE YEAR This award is aimed at LEEA members who wish to recognise the contribution and individual effort that an apprentice has made in the academic year 2017/18.
