BOOMING sales figures in more than 70 countries worldwide have earned mobile elevating work platform manufacturer Niftylift a King’s Award for Enterprise.
HM Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire Sir Francis Habgood visited the company’s manufacturing facility at Shenley Wood in Milton Keynes to present the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade. Niftylift received Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in International Trade and Innovation in 2013 and 2019.

Managing director John Keely said: “This award is a testament to the hard work and innovation of our team. Over the past three years, we have seen remarkable growth in international sales, expanding our reach to over 70 countries. Exporting is at the heart of our business, and we’re delighted to see our efforts recognised on such a prestigious platform.”

Employing over 500 people locally, we not only provide job opportunities but also actively support initiatives that help Milton Keynes thrive.
“This recognition is as much about our people and community as it is about our global success.”
