One of the UK’s foremost accrediting bodies for trainers of fork lift trucks and related workplace transport operators and instructors – AITT – has announced the appointment of a new general manager.

Adam Smith, who has a richly experienced career in workplace transport training, joins the Association of Industrial Truck Trainers with the aim of increasing membership, providing even greater support for existing members and – as an accredited trainer himself – bringing new ideas based on a close understanding of the needs of instructors. In addition to this, Adam will contribute to the development of the Accrediting Bodies Association (ABA) Workplace Transport.  

Following his appointment Adam said, “I am very excited to be taking on this role for AITT.  As a not-for-profit organisation, run by a membership that embraces not only training companies but also fork lift manufacturers and end-user companies, AITT has a unique perspective on all aspects of training. The input from our membership is what sets us apart and gives us a sharper focus on trainers’ requirements.”
