Vicki Allen has set up International Platforms with her daughter Jade
Allen said: “I have enjoyed a fantastic career with some of the top businesses in the aerial lift industry and have enjoyed all my roles immensely. This year took some unexpected turns, along with Jade being made redundant, due to the impact of the Covid-19 crisis. We both longed for a more flexible pace of life where we could combine running a business with spending more time with our horses. We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to use both mine and Jade’s skillsets to achieve this dream. We have the experience, specialist knowledge of the industry and plenty of contacts to make International Platforms a huge success.”
Lee Crosse, JLG Power Towers business developer manager, added: “I have been a supplier of low-level for Vicki for the last couple of years. She previously worked alongside my line manager Martin Cheese, who gave me some words of wisdom: ‘don’t mess her about’.Vicki is very professional and has a vast knowledge of access equipment. I wish her and her team all the success.”
