We’d like to thank David Boyers, KONE, for his leadership as Chair of LEIA’s Education & Training Committee over the past fourteen years. David now steps into the role of Deputy Chair and welcomes Rachel Swales, Pickerings Lifts, as the new Chair. We look forward to working with her to develop and strengthen education and training across the sector. The committee helps to shape education and training courses and is looking for new members.
