skills shortages across the lifting industry and promoting practical tools to attract new talent. The day is a launchpad to inspire the next generation to explore careers in lifting. LEEA will exclusively reveal the findings of its ‘State of the Lifting Industry’ survey on GLAD. However, it has urged members and other stakeholders to create their own campaign contributions that can be submitted in advance and promoted via LEEA platforms on the day. LEEA wants to hear directly from the lifting industry about what they’re already doing to support the skills gap and recruitment challenges the industry is facing.

How can industry get involved? The industry can get involved in a few ways:
One:

them more about their organisation and what they’re already doing to support the future of the lifting industry. If anyone wants to be featured as a GLAD case study, they should provide a summary of what they’re already doing and LEEA will be in touch with follow up questions.
Three:
Host a local activity. LEEA is asking companies if they have ever considered opening their doors to the general public or local schools to showcase what a career in lifting actually looks like? Such open days could coincide with GLAD on 12 June.
Four: Promote GLAD. Use LEEA GLAD graphics and the hashtag – #GLAD2025 – to post specifically about how a company and its
staff are supporting the future of the lifting industry and tag LEEA on LinkedIn. Supporters can also use the GLAD LinkedIn profile picture frame to show their support during the day.
What’s in it for you? As part of LEEA’s campaign for GLAD, the association will be sharing stories with its global membership base and LinkedIn following of over 24,000 people. This is a great opportunity to promote a business and a positive news stories of how a manufacturer, supplier or other organisation is supporting the wider industry.
