"I just completed my four-day Counterbalance Forklift course and was very impressed from start to finish. Our instructor, Ian Handley, made us feel at ease and explained all aspects of counterbalance very well, and was very helpful with any questions we had for him. I would recommend GTG to anyone who is interested in this course. Thanks again Alan for all your help. "Martin
