announcements at the recent Fork
Lift Truck Association Awards for
Excellence 2008 were those for two
tyre manufacturers.
Watts Industrial Services took the
'Archie' for Supplier of the Year, while
Continental Tyre Group received the
Design achievement Archie for its
CSEasy tyre which can be fitted
using just a simple torque wrench.
Unusually, there were two winners
of the Apprentice of the Year Award:
Ben Duff of Jungheinrich and Joseph
Turner of Toyota. The employee of
the Year Award went to Ian stone of
Windsor Engineering in Hull and, in
an entirely new category, Sellafield

The four Awards decided by an
open vote within the materials
handling community were won by
Still (Environment), Crown

Komatsu (Innovation).
David Ellison, FLTA chief
