Samuel Miller from Ballymena has been crowned the Irish National Champion at the RTITB (formerly the Road Transport Industry Training Board) Operator of the Year Irish National Final hosted by Daralinn Training in Dublin.

Miller says the event was "very well organised and useful for developing a healthy and safe work practice". He received a shopping voucher, a trophy sponsored by Toyota Material Handling UK and will compete for the national title at the Grand Final on 16 September.

The first runner-up was Brenda Meagher who was trained by Jungheinrich, and Seamus Day who was trained by Daralinn Training came third. The competitors undertook two practical tests, a pre-use check and a theory test. They were marked on a "penalties" basis where the competitor with the lowest number of penalties was crowned the winner.
