A TEAM of workers have gone up in the world. The 22 employees from BAe Samlesbury recently passed their NVQ level 2 in lift truck operation - the highest available.

Said Peter Armer, imports and outbound supply manager: "It is tremendous that so many of our people have achieved such a high standard of qualification which also ensures that they are fully aware of all relevant health and safety regulations.

"BAe supports and recognises the need for NVQ training as it gives employees the opportunity to update and extend their qualifications."
