Scissor lift tables,reach trucks and Artison forklift trucks. Ourexperienced team of dedicated staff and dealersensure that all aspects of materials handling arecovered offering maximum return on investment.WHAT'S THE MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT YOUR JOB?The daily challenges that arise from the constantly changing market we operate in.One day we can be discussing supply of 500 hand pallet trucks and the next daywe can be discussing how to alleviate a clients particular handling problem offeringa “bespoke solution.”IF YOU WERE AN ITEM IN A WAREHOUSE, WHAT WOULD YOU BE?That’s easy, a humble hand pallet truck, “large enough to cope, small enough tocare!” Handling would be more difficult without me!WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THIS INDUSTRY?A long, long time ago, 1983 to be exact, I started with a broom and a pair ofoveralls in a small factory watching handling equipment being made. I thought itlooked interesting and after I passed my driving test began pacing the streets ofBirmingham (and other cities) looking for customers to buy the handlingequipment I saw being made… I really never looked back.IF YOU HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENT?Hindsight is a wonderful thing and there are many small adjustments which if I hada crystal ball we probably would have implemented prior to an event, but I don’t soI didn’t. However, the whole objective is to “make it as easy as possible for theclient to solve a problem using our equipment which in turn save them time andmoney” so what I would do now IS PUT IT UP IN BIG LETTERS JUST TO GET THEMESSAGE OUT THERE!!WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PASTIME?Last year I finally obtained my private pilots licence andwhen time permits I love to go flying.DO YOU HAVE ANY HIDDEN TALENTS?Closet DJ.WHO WOULD BE YOUR FAVOURITE PARTY GUEST?Lord Sugar - Gritty, determined and entertaining.WHAT IS THE GREATEST LUXURY IN YOUR LIFE?My Family, they cost a fortune but give me great pleasure.IF YOU WON THE LOTTERY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?I would become a philanthropist.WHO OR WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?My friends and colleagues make me laugh. Whatever I do or try I always look onthe positive side with a humorous overview. You can’t go through life beingmiserable. You can be serious and happy or even seriously happy.DO YOU HAVE ANY SECRET AMBITIONS?It’s a secret, but we’re getting there!WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE HOLIDAY DESTINATION?Maldives, nowhere else comes close.WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC ALBUM?I like a cross section, but particularly like Travis, Keane, & Robbie. Todays pick hasto be the original Cee Lo Green “Forget You” (Its sublime you know!)WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIE?Saving Grace… British Comedy at its best.WHO OR WHAT DO YOU DETEST THE MOST?You know who you are!!WHAT WOULD BE YOUR ADVICE TO SOMEONE THINKING ABOUT COMINGINTO THE INDUSTRY (APART FROM "DON'T DO IT")?Know your product and your market. Know your stuff, Know your customer.IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE PART IN THIS FEATURE CALL 01923 272960WE HAVE SPACES AVAILABLE, TO GET INVOLVED CALL TODAY!CONTACT DETAILSAndrew Williams, ManagingDirector, European HandlingEquipment Limited.Lord Sugar, Andy’spreferred party guest.Published by Grandflame Limited 12 Kings Park, Primrose Hill, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire,WD4 8ST.
