Niftylift, a world-leading manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms, proudly hosted a reception ceremony on November 29th to celebrate receiving the King's Award for Enterprise for International Trade.
The event, held at the company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Shenley Wood, featured a special presentation of the award by His Majesty’s Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, Sir Francis Habgood, DL QPM, to Niftylift Managing Director, John Keely.
The prestigious King's Award for Enterprise recognises Niftylift’s outstanding success in export sales, achieving sustained year-on-year growth over the past three years. Niftylift now exports its innovative and environmentally friendly products to over 70 countries, solidifying its position as a global leader in its field.
Sir Francis Habgood was given a tour of the Niftylift facilities before the ceremony, where he gained insights into the company’s cutting-edge manufacturing processes, commitment to innovation, and dedication to sustainability. With over 500 employees in Milton Keynes, Niftylift continues to contribute to the local economy while playing an active role in the community.
John Keely, Managing Director of Niftylift, commented:
"This award is a testament to the hard work and innovation of our team. Over the past three years, we’ve seen remarkable growth in international sales, expanding our reach to over 70 countries. Exporting is at the heart of our business, and we’re delighted to see our efforts recognised on such a prestigious platform."
Roger Bowden, Chairman and Founder of Niftylift, added:
"As a company founded and grown here in Milton Keynes, we take immense pride in our contribution to the local economy and community. Employing over 500 people locally, we not only provide job opportunities but also actively support initiatives that help Milton Keynes thrive. This recognition is as much about our people and community as it is about our global success."
The ceremony marked another milestone in Niftylift’s ongoing journey of innovation and excellence. The company, which recently introduced the world’s first hydrogen-electric Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP), continues to lead the way in safety, sustainability, and technology.
