Earlier this year, Ben Hiscox - an avid footballer and a valued member of the SafetyLiftinGear sales team - was killed in a footballing accident at the age of 30. In the wake of Ben's tragic passing, we set up the Ben Hiscox Memorial Fund to honour his memory and provide financial support for those he left behind. Our aim was to raise £10,000, and we are pleased to announce that this target has now been reached.
The grand total was £10,155.54, which was presented to Ben's partner Zoe Mathews last week (see photo above). This money will be used to:
We would like to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone who donated - we know that Ben's family were devastated by his death, and his presence is sorely missed here at SafetyLiftinGear.
If you would like to donate to the Ben Hiscox Memorial Fund, you can do so here.

We get a lot of enquiries from people looking to rent - rather than buy - our products, usually because they've got a one-off job that requires a special piece of equipment that they're unlikely to use again afterwards. Over time, equipment hire has become just as big a part of the SafetyLiftinGear service as the items we sell outright, and almost all of our products are now available to rent as well as to purchase.
If you are interested in hiring our lifting gear, our height safety equipment, or anything else you've seen on our website, give us a call on 0808 123 69 69 or email sales@safetyliftingear.com to discuss your requirements with a member of the SLG sales team. Alternatively, you're welcome to visit any of our five depots throughout the UK - click here to find your nearest.
We never shy away from a high-profile project here at SafetyLiftinGear, and this one's a humdinger. Our lifting equipment is currently being used in the ongoing expansion of Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, which will see the stadium's seating capacity increased to approximately 61,000.
Once completed, this gargantuan project will see the Etihad overtake Arenal's Emirates Stadium to become the 2nd largest ground in the Premier League (Manchester City's local rivals Man United have the #1 spot; Old Trafford has a capacity of more than 75,000). According to mcfc.co.uk, Man City's official website, the aim of the expansion is to "ensure everyone can enjoy watching the Boys in Blue score goals", and additional tickets will be available from the start of the 2015/16 season in August.
Here's what SafetyLiftinGear have provided for this ambitious infrastructure project:
We are very excited about this project and wish Man City all the best in the 2015/16 season!
