Lofting and Fritzsche collect FLTA gongs

The 2010 FLTA Awards for Excellence took place at its annual dinner & dance, and Albury Asset Rentals' Kevin Lofting and Jungheinrich's Günter Fritzsche each received recognition of their service to the industry.

Kevin Lofting, who retired from Albury at the end of last year, founded Albury Asset Rentals, and helmed it through thick and thin to become the leading force it is today in the world of capital equipment financing. He was also the first man (in 1994) to step forward and sponsor the inaugural FLTA Awards, so it is fitting that he himself should walk off with the FLTA Lifetime Achievement Award - the highest honour the materials handling industry can bestow - at the end of his career.

IMHX to showcase innovative FMCG solutions

The International Materials Handling Exhibition (IMHX) will take place at the NEC from 16-19 November. Held only once every three years, it is a must-see event for logistics professionals. IMHX traditionally draws thousands of visitors from the retail and FMCG sectors, giving them the opportunity to see handling and storage products and services from over 300 exhibitors – all under one roof.

Independent management consultancy Total Logistics (stand 19L72) specialises in all aspects of commercial supply chains. Leading FMCG companies – including Nestlé, Adidas, Unilever and Argos – have turned to the company for highly efficient, practical and robust solutions to their supply chain issues, from strategy definition to implementation and project management. Following a successful project for TK Maxx, Total Logistics designed a revised European supply chain strategy for its parent company TJX Group, enabling expansion whilst delivering cost savings of more than 15%. In the most recent of many projects completed for Asda, Total Logistics devised a distribution infrastructure capable of supporting projected business volumes to 2020. The company’s recommendations to another major supermarket chain, following a sustained period of growth, led to an increase in the grocer’s site capacity of 20% and resulted in the changes being rolled out across its distribution network as best practice.
