Niftylift Receives Two Queen’s Awards at its Milton Keynes Factory

Powered access manufacturer Niftylift received the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in ‘Innovation’ and ‘International Trade’ at a ceremony in its Milton Keynes headquarters. In front of nearly 200 of Niftylift’s Milton Keynes staff, and with local dignitaries in attendance*, Sir Henry Aubrey-Fletcher (Lord Lieutenant of Buckingham) presented Roger Bowden (Chairman) and John Keely (Managing Director) with the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in ‘Innovation’ and in ‘International Trade’.

And if that wasn’t enough, at the Queen’s Awards ceremony Niftylift also revealed its latest plans to build a brand new state-of-the-art production facility in Milton Keynes, construction of which is due to start in 2014, so Niftylift’s future looks very bright indeed. Roger Bowden concluded his speech saying: “The hard work and commitment that you [Niftylift staff] have given has allowed us to build very solid and sustainable foundations upon which Niftylift will continue to develop and grow for many years to come.” For more information about Niftylift please visit the website: www.niftylift.com or call 01908 223456.
