Industry Perspective Commenting on the campaign, Dr. Ross Moloney, CEO of LEEA, said: “Behind every skyline, shipment and structure is a lifting professional – powering progress, protecting lives and building the future. For too long, lifting has been a hidden career path – despite offering rewarding, hands-on roles that make a real impact on safety, progress and global infrastructure. The ‘Shining a light on the Industry that holds the world up’ campaign is our response. It’s time to champion the people behind the lifts – and show the world why lifting matters.” About LEEA The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) is a global trade association representing organisations involved in the manufacture, supply, inspection, and use of lifting equipment.
