Our 2019 winner
In 2019, the Safety Award went to Belgium-headquartered Sarens. The launch of its own training centre, combined with its innovative app that encourages a much greater compliance for reporting incidents, resonated with our judges, who felt that Sarens showcased a superior safety record and active commitment to improving safety standards across the heavy lift and specialised transport sector.
Sarens’ group marketing and communications manager, Kleopatra Kyrimi, commented on the company's double success: “We are proud of the awards we received. They show how hard we work for innovation and safety.”
The Heavy Lift Awards 2020 ceremony will take place on October 21 at the Royal Lancaster hotel in London, UK.
