The awards are hosted by the Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA), which maintains and raises standards in the materials handling industry. It is the most representative body of its kind in Europe.

There are currently 11 categories in the awards ceremony, which range from Apprentice of the Year to the Safety Site and Lifetime Achievement Awards.
