During a time when being safe in the workplace has never felt so important, leader in loading bay equipment Thorworld Industries offers reassurance to partners and customers that its active engagement as an industry influencer remains as keen as ever.
Under the initiative of managing director John Meale, Thorworld Industries has worked alongside leading associations including the Association of Loading & Elevating Equipment (ALEM), the British Materials Handling Federation (BMHF) and the European Federation of Materials Handling (FEM) as both members and associates for nearly 39 years.
Each valuable affiliation has enabled Thorworld – a BS EN ISO 9001 quality approved company – to take active involvement in working on standards, directives, regulations and guidance documents: always considered beneficial in performing safe business practice, but never more so than in today’s challenging safety climate.
“We’re specialists in loading and unloading practice and have always considered safety as the number one priority with regard to our equipment’s design and manufacture,” Meale says.
“Having an advanced level of industry knowledge from our associate partnerships, we feel better placed to successfully respond to recent calls for social distancing practice in loading and unloading areas,” he points out. “Our expertise has placed us in a privileged position whereby we’ve been able to safely perform installations since lockdown measures were put in place with confidence.”
Meale has been President of not only ALEM, but also the BMHF and FEM, aiding in positioning Thorworld as an integrated leader in the European materials handling field.
“Our role as a loading equipment manufacturer is to assist and enable, safely and productively,” he concludes. “By applying our association knowledge to each installation we fulfil, we’re confident that no matter how operations within the logistics sector unfold in coming months, we will be safely equipped to offer truly effective customer support.”
