Flexilift beats gloom

By Melissa Meehan
DANDENONG company Flexilift Australia is looking forward to uplifting growth despite the economic doom and gloom.
The company has recently become a national agent of Hyundai forklifts in Australia, an exciting coup for the small business.
Flexilift National business development manager John Fisher said that the company was hoping to ride out the financial crisis after 15 years in the industry.
“Our founder, Steve Ritchie, eats, sleeps, and breathes forklifts,” Mr Fisher said.
“And on top of that, he is perhaps one of the only directors of any industrial company that I know who personally goes out and does troubleshooting at the customers’ premises.”
He said taking on the National Hyundai Australian Agency would give Flexilift access to forklifts from “one of the world’s largest and most dynamic manufacturing companies” and that could only be good news for Dandenong and Victoria.
“In a time of economic stagnation, Flexilift is expanding and growing,” he said.
“This means more work, more jobs and more money for both Dandenong and the Victorian business sector.”
