‘People’ category added for 2023 European Rental Awards

The 2023 European Rental Awards will include a new award category for ‘Best Initiative in People’.

The award, which will be judges by the ERA’s Sustainability Committee, will recognise successful initiatives to attract, recruit and retain talent in the equipment rental industry, with judges looking for details of campaigns and efforts to attract personnel at all levels of the workforce.

The awards, which are jointly organised by the European Rental Association (ERA) and International Rental News (IRN) magazine, will be held on Wednesday 7 June in Maastricht, The Netherlands, during the ERA Convention, the International Rental Exhibition (IRE) and the APEX powered access show.

The deadline for entries is Friday 23 February, 2023.

The sustainability award will be judged by the ERA’s Sustainability Committee. Likewise, the ERA Technical Committee Award will be chosen by the ERA’s Technical Committee and - in a change from previous years - award submissions will be required. This award is targeted at OEMs.
