The pick of the year – FLTA Awards winners announced
The tense wait was over for individuals and companies across the globe as the Fork Lift Truck Association revealed the winners of its 22nd annual Awards for Excellence.
A sell out audience of key industry figures attended the black-tie event at The International Centre in Telford to discover just who would be taking home an Archie – the materials handling industry’s most hotly-contested prize.
Handling & Storage Solutions is delighted to be the media partner for the Fork Lift Truck Association Awards.
The FLTA got proceedings off to a ‘bang’ with a rousing performance from drumming group Sparks with accompanying fireworks. Gyles Brandreth then proved an able and witty host for the evening.
The Awards showcased the very best forklift products of the year, as well as winners in a variety of individual and company categories. You can read about all the nominees in the HSS Special Supplement Pick of the Year.
