We are delighted to announce that Peter Bennett has been awarded an OBE in the New Year’s Honours List. Appointed Executive Director of the Ladder Association in 2007, (then the British Ladder Manufacturers’ Association), Peter and his team set about widening the membership base and establishing a training scheme for users and inspectors of ladders. The Association promotes ladder safety (as demonstrated by our current Get-a-Grip campaign) and works closely with the UK’s Health & Safety Executive on work at height guidance.

The Ladder Association is a member of the Access Industry Forum (AIF) the umbrella body for all of the UK work at height industry associations and is a founding supporter of the No Falls Foundation, the first charity dedicated to preventing falls from height.
