Team expansion for growing membership

The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) has expanded both its training and technical audit teams.

The LEEA has experienced an increase in membership over the last few years, notably from companies based in Australasia, SE Asia, Africa and the Middle East. In addition to an online training portal, the Association offers a range of handson courses covering the test, examination and maintenance of overhead lifting equipment. These can be held either at the LEEA's training centre in Huntingdon, or any suitable premises worldwide.

Geoff Holden, chief executive of the LEEA, said: "We now have six staff dedicated to undertaking technical audits and an eight-strong training team. Regardless of location, all members enjoy the same level of support in terms of technical audits and access to training and the other services provided by the LEEA."
