What a Night! £28,000 Raised for the UK Lift Industry Charity
On Saturday 7th October, the 3rd Annual Lift Industry Charity Dinner & Dance too place, and what an incredible evening it was!
With 174 guests across 17 tables, everyone arrived dressed to impress and ready to enjoy a fantastic night of celebration, generosity and industry spirit.
Our brilliant compere, Steve Walls, kicked off the evening in his own superb Steve-style, setting the tone for a night full of laughter, entertainment and unforgettable moments. This was followed by a heartfelt thank-you speech from Dave Cooper, reminding everyone why this charity means so much and the real difference it makes to those within our lift industry who need support.
The excitement continued with seven amazing auction lots, including two truly fabulous donations. A huge thank you to DSW for donating an incredible trip to Spain, and to Target Lifts for offering two seats at the amazing Sporting Club, giving the lucky winners the opportunity to rub shoulders with sporting legends!
And the result? An absolutely phenomenal £28,000 raised!
This outstanding achievement would not have been possible without the generosity and commitment of the companies who sponsored the event, our auction donors, everyone who bid, bought tickets, attended and supported us in so many different ways.
The UK Lift Industry Charity exists to provide vital help and support to people within our industry and their families when they need it most. Every pound raised helps us continue that mission, and we never take your generosity for granted.
From Dave Cooper, Paul Masterson and Jools Black, we want to say one enormous, heartfelt THANK YOU to every single person who helped make this evening such a success.
We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together. Your generosity, kindness and commitment show just how much our industry cares.
WE ARE MORE THAN AN INDUSTRY. WE ARE A COMMUNITY THAT LOOKS AFTER ITS OWN.
