CFTS appoints technical manager
22 June 2015
CFTS’ Thorough Examination scheme, which has grown every year since its inception 11 years ago, has introduced another industry expert to its technical team.

Matthew Kennedy has stepped into the post of technical manager (South), motivated by his genuine belief in the scheme – evidenced by the fact that the company he ran prior to joining CFTS was highly successful in delivering the scheme.
Impressed by the peace of mind the scheme gave his clients, when the opportunity to join the organisation came along Matthew took it.
He explains: "CFTS is highly regarded for the quality of its technical support and I am delighted to be in a position where I can work alongside the hundreds of companies accredited to the CFTS scheme throughout the UK and beyond. I look forward to working with them to expand the scheme even further.”
An engineer for more than three decades, Matthew has spent more than 20 years in the materials handling sector. He will be working alongside technical manager (North) Shaun Prendergast.
