AWARD WINS GIVE PFT SERVICES A LIFT


A local training provider and Chamber member, which specialises in providing high quality forklift truck and various training services, has won two prestigious awards. PFT Services has won the Best


Workplace Training Provider award and the award for Excellence for Health and Safety Training Services in the 2017 UK Enterprise Award competition, which is hosted by the Worldwide Business Review. The firm was secretly nominated


for the awards by an anonymous client. Company owner Gary Phillips


said: “I’m over the moon – especially as I was nominated for the awards by a client. I look after my customers and keep in contact with them. My customers have become my friends. “I’d advise all firms to make sure


they are aware of the legal requirements they need to fulfil and to work with local training providers. “I’d also advise anyone who is


thinking of starting their own firm to make sure they have the necessary experience first so they can make their business a success.”
