ALEM appoints new President

The Association of Loading and Elevating Equipment Manufacturers (ALEM) has appointed Andy Georgiou as its new President.

ALEM represents the interests of UK manufacturers and suppliers of loading bay equipment including dock levellers, scissor lifts, tail lifts and dock shelters.

One of the Association's aims is to make both industry and end users aware of the standards and regulations that must be complied with. "At a time when the HSE is making severe cuts in the number of inspectors working in industry I feel that it's more important than ever to ensure that ALEM works tirelessly to uphold standards of manufacturing, installation and after sales service," says Georgiou.
