The UK Material Handling Association (UKMHA) is excited to announce the launch of its first apprenticeship scheme. This initiative has been created to help UKMHA members and the wider material handling industry to develop their own future talent. With UKMHA recognising that apprentices can deliver a vast array of benefits to businesses, the skills developed, via the scheme, will add tangible benefits and value and, in addition to this, there are government funding schemes that cover apprentice training costs.

Their specific requirements included key areas of the production facility which included a number of blind spots and zones where trucks and pedestrians could potentially come into close contact.
