Are you absolutely amazing? 🤩

Of course you are!

But are you an absolutely amazing forklift technician in the North West? Or do you happen to know somebody who is?

If so, Jofson wants to hear from you. If not, well… take the compliment.

We’re growing fast, and our customers deserve the very best. That means we need someone who can be there when it matters most, with the skills and know-how to keep forklift fleets up and running.

There’s a reason we currently have a 96% first-time fix rate. With your help, maybe we can make it even better.

We’ll offer the successful candidate a competitive package and the chance to join one of the UK’s biggest independent forklift dealerships.

Think it’s you? Or know someone who fits the bill?

Jofson ❤️ Portsmouth

Since 2002, Jofson has helped Portsmouth businesses keep their materials handling operations moving.

Home to the historic dockyard and many world-renowned marine, aerospace and defence businesses, forklifts feel part of everyday life across the great waterfront city.

That's why the marine-friendly features of Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks are such a good fit.

The Mitsubishi EDiA electric counterbalance range features IP54-rated waterproofed components as standard, making it ideal for humid and wet working environments.

The EDiA XL also includes an electric differential lock for extra traction and control on slippery surfaces. 🔒

Lopen, South Petherton in Somerset.

A charming, historic village home to scenic woodlands, quaint hamstone cottages, and sites of archaeological intrigue — including the remains of a 4th century Roman villa.

But never mind all that, as Jofson’s Lopen Head branch is now open for business.

Yes, you read that right, Jofson now operates in Somerset. 🙌

We’ve built up quite a rapport in the community already, so if you’ve passed through our doors since opening last year, thank you!

Anyway, here’s a snapshot of what’s available through the branch:

• New and used equipment rental, retail, maintenance support, and forklift parts
• Short- and long-term hire of electric, diesel, or LPG forklifts
• On-site fleet servicing to help keep your operation moving

Exciting news from the Jofson camp as we welcome our new Managing Director, Simon Emery.

Simon knows his onions — or in this case, forklifts. Having spent 36 years* at Crown Lift Trucks, he brings with him a wealth of experience spanning sales, marketing, retail operations, and senior leadership.

And as you might guess, we’re delighted to have him on board.

“This is a very exciting move for me,” says Simon. “It was always going to take a special role for me to move on, and that’s exactly what this is.

“I know how strong Jofson’s reputation is and that its customer base is always growing. I can’t wait to get started, meet the team, and get stuck in.”

As for you lovely folk reading this, let us know what you’d like to see more of from Jofson and Simon in the months ahead.

*When this author was still learning to walk and watching Rosie & Jim on VHS, Simon was already helping develop Crown’s EMEA dealer network from far-flung locations like Dubai and Munich.

At Jofson, we take pride in our flexibility. That means we'll always try to find you the right Mitsubishi truck(s), at the right time, and at the right cost.

And with short-term hire plans, we can even help you tackle those tricky last-minute jobs — like a weekend EDiA hire to move an unexpected avalanche of deliveries. 🚛

All families have certain things in common.

For example, let’s introduce you to our family of and trucks…

EDiA electric counterbalance (tough and versatile)

GRENDiA IC-engine counterbalance (efficient and clean)

SENSiA reach truck (practical and intuitive)

VELiA order picker (flexible and operator-friendly)

AXiA stacker (cost-effective and manoeuvrable)

PREMiA pallet truck (strong and simple)

VANTiA tow tractor (powerful and stable)

ELEViA narrow-aisle truck (adaptable and productive)

…Each one is a great choice in its own right. But still there’s an unmistakeable family likeness: great build quality.

(Also, reliability. Low maintenance. And common-sense features that really make a difference to the way you work.)

Send this to someone who knows the pain of getting ready for Santa while everyone else is getting ready for summer…

We wish we could magic away your workload, but we can’t.

The best we can do is make it easier to handle.

We have a huge range of forklifts and warehouse equipment for short-term hire — so you get exactly the right truck for the job, fast.

And if you say “Santa in Speedos” we’ll even give you 10% off your first week’s hire.

It’s Christmas, after all.

Can you help us find the best in the North West?

At Jofson, we’re growing fast. We need an amazing technician to join our team.

(Our customers are all businesses who rely on their forklifts, so the quality of our engineers is really important. We currently have a 96%[DM10.1] first-time fix rate, so the bar is pretty high.)

In return, we’ll offer them a competitive package, and a long-term career with one of the UK’s biggest independent forklift dealerships.

If that sounds like someone you know, please send them this post… or email Adele Moore for more information: [email protected]

We love it when new customers try us out for the first time.

For instance, you could:

1. Start with a short-term hire — for July peak season, say.

2. Call us for an emergency breakdown — instead of your usual supplier.

These are small, simple starting points — short-term jobs you needed to do anyway.

They give you a chance to see what we’re about, without a big long-term commitment.

(And they give us a chance to show you how good working with us could be.)

Call your nearest Jofson depot, and put us to the test.

We’re not just about counterbalance forklifts, you know. We also have the full range of Mitsubishi warehouse trucks.

SENSiA reach trucks
PREMiA pallet trucks
VELiA order pickers
AXiA stackers
VANTiA tow trucks
ELEViA VNA trucks

You name it, we have a brilliant piece of kit to do the job.

(And if you’d like even more VNA options, we have Narrow Aisle Flexi trucks too.)

We loved these machines from day one. They’re so well thought out — lots of clever little features that save you time every day.

And now, our customers love them too.

If you want to see what the fuss is about, drop us a message. We’ll be happy to arrange a demo for you.

(And yes, OK. We do also sell counterbalance forklifts.)

More and more, we see clients hiring for longer than five years. It can make a lot of sense.

But you have to start with the right truck.

If you don’t want performance and reliability to tail off, build quality makes a massive difference.

It’s a big reason why we’re so happy to supply European-made Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks. They’re built to last (and you can get some amazing extended warranties, which shows how confident they are).

That gives you plenty of options. And our flexible hire and contract terms will give you even more.

Tell us about your plans, and we’ll find a way to make it work (as well as the right servicing to keep your truck ready for the long haul).
