Toyota Material Handling shows continued support for the UK events industry

As headline sponsor of this year's ESSA G50+ Conference Toyota Material

Handling UK continue to build relationships with the UK events industry for

the second year.


The Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA) have been holding their

annual G50+Conference for the past 5 years. It is an event that brings the

event suppliers industry together to promote best practice and share

experience in order to drive improvements.


Toyota's support of the conference included two workshop presentations on

Toyota's culture, the Toyota Way and an information area where attendees

could pick up further information about Toyota products and services.


The workshops, delivered by Toyota Material Handling UK Sales and Marketing

Director Tony Wallis, were developed to build on the introduction to the

Toyota Production System, which was presented at last year's conference and

involved a business simulation game with 12 members of the association.


Tony Wallis, Sales & Marketing Director for Toyota Material Handling UK,

commented; "The ESSA G50+Conference is an excellent opportunity for us to

show how the Toyota Production System can be used in every business. The

simulation game is a fantastic way of getting people involved in the process

and experience the different ways of operating first hand. Through a video

feed at the G50+Conference, the audience get to be part of the experience as

well."


Chris Skeith, ESSA Director, added:

"The G50+Conference gives our industry leaders the opportunity to gather and

share best practice and knowledge, Toyota has become key to the event.

Sharing their knowledge of process and culture helps our members to see new

options for the way they do things and many leave inspired to try some of

the solutions that have been introduced."


The partnership between ESSA and Toyota has developed over the past year to

include the recent announcement of Solutions 2, an ESSA member, as the stand

partner for Toyota's IMHX 2013 stand design and build.


Toyota are also supplying a special offer to ESSA members, discounted

short-term hire equipment can be arranged in consultation with the

short-term hire team to ensure the right package is found at the right
