Graham Heasman 1954 – 2016
We have received the sad news of the premature death of Graham Heasman , UK based training manager for JLG who passed away earlier this week following a short illness.
Heasman joined JLG in 1998 as a field engineer and moved into his first training role with JLG in 2008. He was promoted to training manager in 2013 and was a highly qualified and well respected trainer within the aerial work platform industry and one of the few people able to train to the CAP Standard.

He started his working life in the Navy as a sub mariner and moved from their into the access rental industry as a technician before eventually joining JLG. He was passionate about access equipment and a was a well respected family man and friend to all his work colleagues and many of his customers.
He is survived by wife Hazel and son Tom, he will be sadly missed not just within JLG but across the UK industry as a whole.

Thank you for the article, very sad to loose him so early but nice to see how respected he was.
RIP Dad.
What sad news, I renewed my CAPs with him only a couple of months ago. He was not well then but still as professional as ever. RIP Graham.

Sad news, Graham was a valued member of the IPAF training comitttee. He had so much experience and technical knowledge that was always shared with a smile and good humour. The industry lost a thoroughly decent guy.

Sincere condolences to Graham`s family. Graham was a great guy always willing to make you laugh when you met him especially whilst socialising in his second home "The Royal Toby" hotel, he will be missed by hundreds of engineers that he has trained, may your knowledge shared go on to assist those guys for many years. Thanks for all your help Graham.
