A huge congratulations to Chris Johnstone from QAB Systems for winning the Richard Corrie Lifetime Contribution award at this year’s AFI UK Fencing Industry Awards.
The Lifetime Contribution Award honours our late Managing Director and Chairman Richard Corrie’s name with its title, a fine reflection of Richard’s seven decades of contribution and passion to continually improve industry standards. The Richard Corrie Lifetime Contribution award recognises an industry professional who has shown an outstanding contribution to the fencing sector in general and to organisations associated with fencing for more than 20 years.
Chris was chosen by the judging panel for his response to lifting issues of 358 Mesh with the invention of the QAB lifting bracket, providing fencing installers with LOLER compliant kit. Chris has invented several other QAB Brackets for a variety of access and lifting issues to make the job safer and easier.
Due to illness, Chris couldn’t be at Twickenham to accept his award but his colleague Gary (who nominated him) accepted the award from John Corrie on his behalf before delivering it up to Faslane!
