SELS Blog

On behalf of the SELS team, Gerry McKenna and most importantly Nick; we would like to extend our gratitude for the kind interest and help of Mr Tim Kretzer, West Virginia, USA.

Tim has contacted SELS regarding supporting the Nick Bewlay Appeal as a private individual, and has also linked to the Nick Bewlay Appeal webpage via Facebook, to further publicise the Appeal. SELS have put Tim in contact with Gerry McKenna, who is a Principal to the fund and is spear-heading the campaign. All support and donations to the appeal have a tangible impact on the progress of the project. The campaign is well under way, and the aim is for Nick to be home in time for Christmas; all help is greatly appreciated and really does make a difference at this important stage when funds to progress the campaign are crucial.

At this moment in time there are no known problems which we have come across and haven't fixed. However no one is perfect, which means chances are we have made some mistakes along the development process. If you know of a bug or a problem with this website please feel free to leave a comment so that we can fix it for you and others which may have the same problem.

Thank You.

Thank you to all who supported Alan and Phil with sponsorship and encouragement, all funds raised will be donated to the Nick Bewlay Appeal Fund. Once all sponsorship monies have been collected and counted we will post to confirm the amount raised.

A big thank you: We have recieved generous donations from Harris Walton - Thank you to Cliff and the team, and Donati - Thank you to Jim and the team for their kind generosity and support.

The donations have been forwarded to Gerry McKenna at Ardagh Glass who is leading the appeal. Also mentioned in the earlier post, The Lighthouse Club have spoken to Gerry directly, and we hope this will progress in the near future - updates to follow.

Thank you again for the kind support of Donati and Harris Walton.

At SELS we are currently trying to do our part to support the efforts of Gerry McKenna at Ardagh Glass in raising awareness and funds for Nick Bewlay.

This week we have written to some of our major suppliers - more letters on the way for suppliers and customers alike - asking for their help.

We would like to thank Graham Colins at Trans-web Ltd, who has passed the information we sent to Trans-web to The Lighthouse Club, who are contacting Gerry directly about helping Nick. 

Please check the blog for updates.

The latest patch update on liftingsafety means that the majority of Crosby lifting and rigging accessories are now priced on-line. The only reason some Crosby items are not priced now, is because they are uncommon items and P.O.A. (priced on application - priced at the time of order with specifications provided).

If you find a Crosby item which you need more information on like specifications or pricing information please use our quote facility or contact us.

All Crosby items are now available to quote as individual items, as before they were all as one item which wasn't very useful, so we put a great deal of time making this new update possible to ensure ease of use and to reduce confusion.

New range of safety harnesses have been added, manufactured by Sala, including general purpose harnesses, an anti-static harness, oil derrick harnesses and harnesses for use with live electricity.
