At the end of 2023, Kat Moss will complete her two years of service as chair of the LEEA<\/a> board and will be succeeded in January 2024 by the current vice chair, Oliver Auston.<\/p>\n

Moss has been pivotal in many key initiatives, such as the Lifting Technician Apprenticeship that is now being delivered in England. Commencing her tenure in January 2022, the previous pandemic dominated period had brought forward some of the plans Moss had in mind for LEEA<\/a>, such as online courses becoming more digital.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely grateful for all the hard work that Kat Moss has contributed to LEEA<\/a>,\u201c said Ross Moloney, CEO at LEEA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would also like to thank Catena Inspection & Engineering Services, where Kat is IMS Manager, for their support of her work with our association.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will be the second time Oliver Auston, CEO of Safehold, has served as chair of LEEA<\/a>, having previously held the role in 2016 to 2017.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThis is possibly the most important and exciting phase in LEEA<\/a>\u2019s history. Our plans and vision are ambitious, our strategy is well developed, and we have the resources to deliver. Being chosen to lead our board and support our group through this journey is an honour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking on the vice chair role from January will be Dave Cormack, managing director at Delphini Ltd.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cTo be able to give back to the association and industry that has served me so well is extremely rewarding and enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to working with Ross Moloney and the LEEA<\/a> team, the incoming new chairman, Oliver Auston, my fellow directors, and members, to help LEEA<\/a> on its journey towards eliminating accidents, injuries and fatalities in our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other key LEEA<\/a> board roles will be Derek Buck as technical committee chair and Chris Towne as learning and development committee chair.<\/p>\n

Moloney added: \u201cWith Oliver Auston as our new chair and with members in their new roles, the LEEA<\/a> team will have the support of a board packed with tremendous industry experience and expertise.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the association enters its 80th year in 2024, we will all be working together to ensure that LEEA<\/a> continues moving forward to uphold our gold standard, spread best practice and achieve our goal of zero accidents.\u201d<\/p>\n
