Alton, United Kingdom
Geoff Martin has been appointed chairman of the Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA)after three years as vice chairman, succeeding Martyn Fletcher, who will be the association's president.
Martin is a director of Jofson Ltd, the main Mitsubishi dealer for the Midlands and Manchester regions. He has worked in the materials handling industry for 18 years and been on the association's board since 2009.
He attributes FLTA's good reputation to Fletcher's commitment, hard work and innovations, like the introduction of a Safety Week annual awareness campaign.
"However, there's much more to be done. The association is strong, dynamic and progressive and, through the development of new initiatives and resources, we will continue to raise standards - ensuring members and the public receive the highest levels of service and support."
Martin says the association will embark on a vigorous campaign to bring its services to a wider audience.
"We intend to not only expand membership of our Safe User Group, but encourage far greater interaction with all those involved in any way with forklifts, from managers and supervisors to operators and even pedestrians who work alongside handling equipment."
