Winter 2026 | Q1 Issue 15
A spectacular celebration of community, generosity, and glamour was attended by over 160 of the great and the good of the industry
Another hugely successful dinner dance was held in support of the Lift Industry Charity in October last year at the Marriott Delta in Waltham Abbey. Despite many guests preparing to travel to Interlift the next day, the dedication to having a big night out was impressive! Returning as host, Steve Wall was better than ever — his infectious energy, sharp wit, and effortless charm set the perfect tone for an evening of laughter and celebration.
A standout moment of the night came during the charity auction, with fast and furious bidding for tickets to Abba Voyage, a trip on a Pullman train, a Cotswold cottage stay and a big cat experience to name a few of the lots.
The total raised surpassed all expectations - over £20,000 for The Lift Charity. This incredible total will go directly toward supporting families in need across the lift industry.
To everyone who attended, donated, and sponsored the event — thank you. Your generosity and enthusiasm made the evening not only possible but truly unforgettable. Together, we continue to lift lives.
A BIG thank you to the team of Trustees that organised and made sure the night went so well – Jools Black, Dave Cooper, James Edge, Paul Masterson, Gemma Moore and Phil Rudd.
