Competition sponsor shows commitment to safety

Toyota Material Handling UK sponsored this year's RTITB Operator of the Year Competition, affirming its commitment to safety in the workplace and the skills of lift truck operators. The competition, established in 2008, gives NORS qualified counterbalance operators the chance to showcase their operating skills. The competition also acknowledges the hard work and dedication of their trainers.

Toyota supplied trucks for each of the National Finals and the Grand Final held at RTITB HQ in Telford. It also supplied the venue for the Northern England National Final at its Castleford depot and supplied the first prize of a new Toyota Aygo Ice.

Tony Wallis, operations director for Toyota Material Handling UK commented: "At Toyota we believe that investing in quality operator training can help customers improve safety in the workplace, but also work more productively and align to our programme of helping business to drive down costs."
