What they do.
Most training companies hand you a certificate and move on. BA Lifting builds you a career. Founded in 2020 by Joshua Bain - a crane operative, a client, and a recruiter all in one - BA Lifting has grown into a full group with three arms: BA Lifting Training Ltd for courses and development, BA Lifting Operations Ltd for staffing and consultancy, and BA Lifting Operations CIC for community and social impact.
The training arm is where the real transformation happens. From CPCS refreshers and EUSR National Water Hygiene Passes to IPAF, PASMA, Thames Water Passport, Mechanical Switching, and career mapping sessions, BA Lifting puts operatives on a clear path from first qualification to site-ready professional. And unlike most providers, Joshua doesn't disappear after the course is booked. He writes CVs, maps career paths, makes introductions, and mentors - often years after the initial engagement. Mustafa Abdillahi came in as a Slinger looking for his first job and went on to work on HS2 as an NVQ Level 2 qualified Crane Supervisor. Ocheme Samuel had years of Nigerian construction experience but couldn't break into the UK market - BA Lifting got him there. Jermaine Lewis had a criminal record and no idea where to start - Joshua mapped his entire route in. The training is the door. Joshua makes sure people walk through it.
CONNECT.
Why we back them.
The construction skills gap is real, chronic, and well-documented. The solution isn't another job board - it's better training, better access, and someone genuinely in your corner. BA Lifting does all three. What made us back Joshua is the same thing that makes his testimonials read like letters to a mentor rather than reviews of a training provider: he is singularly focused on outcomes, not just completions.
Through BA Lifting Operations CIC, he works with London councils, charities, and prisons to bring ex-offenders, ex-military, ethnic minorities, and long-term unemployed people into sustainable construction careers. That is not a marketing line - it is evidenced by real people on his website who have gone from unemployment and discrimination to working on HS2 and Battersea Power Station. We back platforms that create real, lasting economic mobility. BA Lifting is one of them. This is 4D in action: the right course, the right person, the right outcome - and someone who stays in touch long after.
