Tributes to Gina were shared by professionals across the industry. She had such a strong impact on so many people, and she will be profoundly missed.

“Many industry colleagues will know Gina through her consultancy work, her work on the CIBSE Lifts Group and drafting CIBSE’s Guide D. Through MHE/4, the BSI lifts, hoists and escalators committee, she has contributed to many of the British Standards developed under MHE/4 and has worked on international standards of importance to our sector. In particular, Gina was hugely valued at MHE/4 where she was passionately committed to improving our sector through this work.” - LEIA

“A world renowned authority on Elevator traffic design and Codes. The loss of such a remarkable individual leaves a void not only in our industry but also in the hearts of all those who had the privilege of knowing her and working with her. Though I was not fortunate enough to physically interact with her, it is her works and the inspiration I draw from them that have made me the person I am today. Few of my online interactions with her will be the most treasurable moments I will cherish for life. Dr Gina Barney was an exceptional professional whose expertise and contributions have left an indelible mark on our field. Her immense knowledge, passion, and dedication were unparalleled, and she was a true inspiration to all of us. Her unwavering commitment to excellence and tireless efforts to push the boundaries of our industry have set new standards and paved the way for future generations. She was always willing to share her wisdom, mentor others, and lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Her warmth, humility, and generosity made her not just an expert in our field, but also a cherished friend.” - Jagadish Kumar, L’Avenir Lift Consultancy

“Dear Gina. You were the one who opened up the secrets of lift computer control systems. You initiated the establishment of the International Association of Elevator Engineers. Likewise, you brought lift traffic closer to the academic world by the Elevcon conference. You continued with the standardisation work until the very end, leaving us your legacy. Remembering your contribution with gratitude.” - Marja-Liisa Siikonen, MLS Lift Consulting
