Movicarga awards

At the Movicarga Awards, held on 26 September in Madrid, Peter Douglas, CEO and Managing Director of IPAF, received an award for his contribution to the lifting industry and his role in helping IPAF grow in both size and recognition.

Macarena Garcia, Director of Movicarga magazine, spoke about Peter's impact, saying: "Since Peter took over IPAF, he has changed the organisation significantly, not only by expanding IPAF's global presence but also through his involvement in industry events. His experience with rental companies has been important in making IPAF more relevant every day. Peter takes time at every event to connect with members, listen to their concerns, and is always open to new ideas. He goes the extra mile to support both current members and those considering joining. This award is well deserved, and we are proud to present it to him from Movicarga magazine."

The Movicarga Awards are an important event for the lifting industry in Spain, bringing together a wide range of platform rental companies. This year, IPAF's participation in the ELEVA Alliance was highlighted, with Ainara Greño from IPAF presenting the ELEVA Award. The awards celebrate excellence in the industry, and this year’s event saw over 415 attendees.

IPAF is pleased to see Peter Douglas recognised for his leadership and dedication to improving safety, standards, and growth in the global powered access industry. Congratulations, Peter!
