LEEA day one

The annual Lifting Equipment Engineers Association conference and exhibition is taking place this week in Liverpool.

Around 60 companies offering lifting & rigging equipment and services have stands at the event, which closes this afternoon.

This first day was well attended and busy, and was followed by the annual LEEA awards dinner at Anfield Football Club – home to Liverpool Football Club. After dinner, speakers included ex-England rugby player Will Greenwood.

The following photos will hopefully provide a slight impression of the event.
