The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) is hosting a free webinar on Global Lifting Awareness Day (GLAD) 2025 to reveal the findings of its State of the Lifting Industry survey. The webinar will take place at 11 a.m. (BST).
The webinar will be led by LEEA CEO Ross Moloney and Matt Barber, the organization’s director of membership. The pair will share the results of the in-depth study with insights from industry leaders and frontline professionals to paint a clear picture of the recruitment and skills development landscape. LEEA will break down the data and explore the real-world implications for businesses. Whether participants are managing a workforce or shaping training programmes, these findings will give industry the clarity needed to navigate the current talent shortfall.
LEEA says the lifting industry is at a crossroads. As experienced professionals retire and fewer young people enter the trade, companies are facing an urgent recruitment crisis. A shortage of skilled labour is placing increasing pressure on operations, productivity and safety standards. Coupled with growing demands for technical compliance and innovation, the industry must act fast to secure a sustainable future. If left unaddressed, these challenges could have serious consequences for business continuity and sector-wide growth.
LEEA will also share actionable strategies to help companies attract, retain and upskill talent.
“Don’t miss this vital industry briefing,” says Moloney. “If your business is feeling the pressure of a shrinking talent pool or struggling to find the next generation of skilled workers, this webinar is for you. Register now to gain the insights and solutions you need to future-proof your workforce and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape.”
