  Excellent Slinging & Lifting Course – Top Trainer! Just completed the Slinging and Lifting course with Steve Ward as the trainer, and I couldn’t recommend it more. Steve was brilliant – clear, experienced, and made the course easy to follow while keeping it engaging. The balance between practical and theory was spot on, and I came away feeling much more confident about lifting operations and safety. Really well delivered and professionally run. If you get the chance to train with Steve, take it!
