-- Napier Turner, director of Prolift Equipment Pty Ltd, in South Australia and Victoria, retires at the end of December after more than 30 years in the Australian forklift and materials handling industry. Mr Turner will continue to serve as a non-executive director on both company boards. He and his wife, Trish, plan to fish and camp around Australia. "I follow the Adelaide Crows Australian Rules football team and I intend to see more matches, I am a keen gardener, and I will play more golf," he said. Mr Turner said he was not being replaced. The remaining Prolift directors are Ian Harper in South Australia and Brian Michie in Victoria.
