The UK Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA) has opened nominations for its 2007 awards for excellence, popularly known as the Archies.

FLTA chairman Paul Nichol urged the materials handling world to start thinking of someone or something that deserved an accolade.

"The FLTA awards for excellence are highly sought after, [but] you can't win unless you have been nominated," he said.

FLTA chief executive David Ellison said there was "nothing wrong" with companies or individuals nominating their own work. "If a company is rightly pleased with its achievements, there's no point waiting for someone else to notice. [This] is your chance to give that special piece of work the recognition it deserves."

Nomination forms should be submitted well before the September 29 deadline. Forms can be downloaded from www.fork-truck.org.uk. Email mail@fork-truck.org.uk for more information.
