Steve Price, winner of TNT's Loading Bay Operative award
TNT's Steve Price has been recognised as the best in the business after winning a national operational safety competition.

Price, who works at TNT's Express Services' Worcester Depot, competed against dozens of competitors from around the UK for the title of Loading Bay Operative (LBO) of 2008.

Competitors had to perform a series of practical exercises and tests designed to evaluate their skills and knowledge. The competition recognises excellence and best practice among TNT's drivers, forklift operators and loading bay operatives.

Price won GBP2,500 (USD4,451), a trophy and a bottle of champagne.
Runners-up received GBP1,250 (USD2,225) and third-place winners won GBP750 (USD1,333).

Price says he has entered the competition a couple of times, but never won. "The competition never gets any easier. It was a tough test but it is good fun," he says. "It's really satisfying to come out the other side knowing that you are the best LBO out of thousands."
