Best Practice Abounds at LiftEx 2023

LiftEx 2023 is the global showcase for the Lifting Industry, the ideal show for anyone who uses lifting and height safety equipment. Taking place at the Exhibition Centre, Liverpool on 21-22 November 2023, it is the annual flagship event of LEEA (Lifting Equipment Engineers Association) and is free to attend. Registration is open now at: liftex.org/liftex-liverpool-2023

Lifting equipment plays a vital role throughout offshore, maritime and port operations. Looking for the LEEA logo shows that the equipment or service provider serving these sectors is an Association member. This means they have undergone a rigorous auditing process to uphold LEEA’s ‘gold standard’ and provides customers with the assurance of excellence. With LEEA members exhibiting their innovative lifting equipment and solutions at LiftEx, the global lifting industry will be focussed on Liverpool.

Finding best practice at LiftEx

Celebrating its 18th year in 2023, LiftEx provides the ideal venue for anyone involved with, or responsible for, lifting equipment to join over 1,500 industry professionals in catching up with suppliers and exploring their latest innovations, viewing demonstrations and gaining valuable lifting knowledge across two days.

Expertise and industry insights will be shared through informative speaker sessions and specialty programmes designed to help visitors in their everyday role and delivered by the LEEA team and industry experts. Topics on the agenda include the latest in safety regulations, technology innovations, recruitment strategies and industry best practice. The event will also welcome careers advisors, teachers, universities, colleges and regional boards. They all make a vital contribution to engaging with the next generation of talent and attracting them into the sector.

With CoreRFID, the provider of Lifting Inspection software and RFID technology, as Headline Sponsor of the event, joining other sponsors: Rope and Sling Specialists, Green Pin and Delta, this year promises to be the best LiftEx yet. Among almost 100 exhibitors on the show floor, over 20% will be appearing at LiftEx for the first time.

In addition to the broad array of lifting equipment solutions on display, there will also be organisations such as the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), the MoD’s official provider of Armed Forces Resettlement for over 13,000 skilled and experienced individuals leave the military. Qualitrain will also be on hand to discuss training. LEEA itself will, of course, have its usual prominent stand for visitors to meet and engage with the Association’s team.

A great networking experience

There will be plenty of networking opportunities. The night before the exhibition, there is a reception for LEEA members at Liverpool FC’s world famous and legendary Anfield Stadium, with former players in attendance.

On the middle evening, 21 November 2023, there will be the fifth annual LEEA Awards ceremony, a prestigious event exclusively for members, where LEEA recognises and celebrates excellence. There will be around 300 guests at the Rum Warehouse for the ceremony, which is hosted by special guest Jason Manford, so it’s sure to be the best night out in Liverpool and the Lifting Industry’s party of the year.
