Plenty more news and interesting happenings this month at Straightpoint Ltd…
Straightpoint Exhibit at Liftex
Liftex is an annual exhibition for the lifting industry and is now in its 7th consecutive year. Straightpoint exhibited at Liftex on the 17th and 18th November. The event was a huge success for us – we met many UK and overseas customers and received a flurry of new business enquiries for our load systems, load cells and other force sensor equipment.
Evening entertainment included a BBQ and quiz – and provided a great opportunity to wind down and socialise. To not finish last was a relief for many (except the unlucky one!). Big congratulations go to team ‘Speedy’ for first place with a very brainy 45-point haul!

Visit to Van Gool Holland
At the end of October I flew over to The Netherlands to visit our dealer Van Gool Holland who have just opened a brand new showroom at their factory featuring a dedicated Straightpoint area showcasing all our load products.
I was given a tour of the new showroom by Peter Van Dujin. The idea is that customers in the Netherlands can drive on down to Van Gool Holland, check out all the force monitoring equipment, place an order and collect all in the same day!
Below is a photo of Peter Van Dujin from Van Gool and myself standing in front of the Straightpoint stand.
Trip to Houston
Another great trip and this time across the Pond to Houston, Texas, to visit a Straightpoint Inc customer. Bishop Lifting is a Straightpoint Inc distributor and the team needed our help to train their new sales engineers. Whilst we were there, Mo from Bishop Lifting, found time to show us his new set of wheels. Not well known for my towering height, I needed a ladder to climb into it! Check out the image below…
