F-TEC sponsors top industry safety award THE FORKLIFT Training Engineering Centre (F-TEC), has announced its sponsorship of The Safety Award at the prestigious Awards for Excellence 2020. The Awards for Excellence, which is the biggest annual event in the materials handling industry calendar, was postponed in March and will now be held later this year at the Hilton Metropole at the NEC Birmingham. Karl Baum, managing director of F-TEC, said, “We are delighted to sponsoring the Safety Award. It has perfect synergy with the business, our ethics and what we stand for. We’ll be there on the evening to present the winner with their award.”

The evening will also play host to F-TEC’s Level 4 graduation ceremony. Mr Baum added: “Our Level 4 engineers will be in the spotlight on the evening as the awards ceremony will see them graduate. This is a prestigious moment as some of the biggest names in the industry will be present. Graduating as a Level 4 engineer is a monumental achievement and is something to be celebrated.”  F-TEC is a dedicated training facility, offering an extensive range of forklift engineering programmes, including apprenticeships, advanced level courses, thorough examination, diagnostics, safety and more.

F-TEC is a highly regarded company in our sector and we are delighted that they have added their weight and status to what is recognised as the longest-established and most authoritative awards in the materials handling industry. “The Safety Award shines the spotlight on those companies working to make our industry a much safer place. This year’s finalists have gone to tremendous efforts to ensure that, at the end of the shift, everyone goes home safely.” F-TEC will join a group of sponsors and supporters including Carrylift, Combilift, Doosan Industrial Vehicle UK, IBCS, Flexi, Toyota Material Handling, Triathlon Batteries, TVH and Yale Europe Materials Handling.
