Vertikal Comment
It was a sheer pleasure to so many people from the industry - suppliers, rental companies and competitors - all so clearly happy and pleased to meet up and talk and rekindle friendships and compare notes. To see such positivity within the overall crane and access industry was pure joy.
An excellent event that gains much from the sheer energy and positivity of its leader, Macarena García Oliver - a real force of nature. We salute her.
