The Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA) in the UK has announced that Peter Harvey MBE, is to leave his post following a 6+ year tenure as chief executive.

FLTA Chairman Duncan Nealon said, “We would like to thank Peter for the excellent work he has done in raising the profile of the Association. In his time with us he has overseen a number of important initiatives and has played a key role in forging strong links with trade associations representing sectors that are major users of materials handling equipment. In addition, he has worked hard to push our safety agenda and was a driving force in the setting up of the Fork Truck Watchdog.”

Duncan added, “Peter has helped the FLTA strengthen its position as the UK’s leading authority on all aspects of fork lift trucks and warehouse equipment. We wish him every success for the future and offer him our sincere thanks for his work over the years.”

The FTLA is actively seeking Peter’s replacement and hopes to make an announcement as soon as possible.
