Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

Jungheinrich is providing a pink-coloured counterbalance truck for use at Race for Life charity events taking place in the UK this northern summer.
The forklift manufacturer has also pledged to pay the entry fee for any member of its staff or their partners who wish to complete the 5 km fundraising courses.
Jungheinrich UK Ltd sales director, Mike Hasson says: "The Jungheinrich new generation torque converter truck is being launched in May and as a company we wanted to link the launch of this new counterbalance truck with a famous event or charity. After some careful consideration we decided on Race for Life".
Race for Life is a series of sports-themed events that aim to create awareness of and generate funds for research into cancer.
