Douglas Gillespie honoured with FLTA Lifetime Achievement Award
First Scottish winner of industry's highest accolade
Hearing his name called to receive the Fork Lift Truck Association's highest honour at this year's Annual Awards for Excellence, left Douglas Gillespie stunned.
"It's a wonderful surprise, and a credit to the success of our team," said the founder and Managing Director of Scotland's premier forklift dealer, Douglas Gillespie Plant.
Having joined the FLTA in 1972, founding member Douglas became only the ninth recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award in the prestigious event's history, as well as the first ever Scottish recipient.
