The UK's leading battery specialist - Powercell Industrial Battery Engineers Ltd - has confirmed that it will be a full Award Sponsor for the Fork Lift Truck Association Awards for Excellence 2012.
The decision to show their support for the industry's most established and respected Awards event follows the company's own success at Awards 2011 when they were named Supplier of the Year in a vote involving the entire Association membership.
Announcing their participation, Powercell's managing director Derek Anderson said: "We are extremely proud to be involved in the industry's premier awards. Excellence in customer care is at the very centre of our business philosophy and we are delighted to support excellence in others."
This excellence extends beyond the materials handling industry. Powercell is a proud supporter of the Sick Children's Trust, a charity established on the belief that no child should be separated from his family while in hospital receiving treatment for serious illness. Last year, the company raised more than £7000 for the cause.
Welcoming Powercell as an Award Sponsor, FLTA chairman Martyn Fletcher says:
"The Awards plays a crucial role in encouraging ever-higher standards in the materials handling industry.
"However, this can only be achieved through the support of companies such as Powercell, who, having achieved a premier position, are willing to put something back.
"Powercell joins an elite team of companies whose commitment to our industry as Sponsors and Event Supporters makes the Awards possible."
