Offering a small business perspective, Andrew Renwick, Managing Director at Caltech Lifts, added, "As a director of a smaller lift company, I’m eager to provide that vital perspective at the Board level."

Dave Martin, Managing Director at DeSeM Lifts agreed, "I’m pleased to join the board to represent SMEs and offer the perspective of a small independent UK manufacturer and installer of medium and large capacity robust kit and structures, with more than 30 years’ experience."

LEIA is the trade association and advisory body for the lift and escalator industry, formed in 1997 from the merger of two long-established associations with histories dating back to 1932 – with a membership covering approximately 85 percent of the lift and escalator industry.
