Emily White

Job title: Contract Site, Location: Carlise

An archivist who took her for truck licence to change career and make logistics her new focus. Recognised at national level and giving skills back to the next generation.

Already a Women in Logistics finalist she was at the IMHX NEC trade show last month to win a place in the RTITB national fork truck finals.

Emily moved from work as an archivist to logistics warehouse and express where she has held her fork licence with RTITB for three years.

Reaching manager level, she is at the heart of giving back knowledge and skills to the next generation as she looks set to be nationally recognised at the highest level of operations skill on her favourite e14 warehouse truck.

Her signature move on the fork truck is two pips before the turn, her favourite machine is a Linde E14 machine that she has fondly named Peter. A four wheel truck with over four hundred amp hours and a smart lick of repaint.

Qualifying for the RTITB national final Emily had to work the handles and raise a variation of objects from barrels to children’s air toys, she had to delicately pour the children’s ball toys from hopper to hopper using the truck, the pressure was on, timescales measured and any fault or impact would have excluded her from the completion.

IOC fellows were at the INHX for a snap shot view of the tri-annual mega show live from the NEC.  People in the spotlight, RTITB hosted a final selection for the UK fork truck supremo, girl driver Emily White took the day’s win for System in Carlisle and steps into the National final alongside a shortlist nomination for the National Courier Awards.
