More than 460 PAL Card holders across five continents have won prizes in IPAF’s “Verify and Win” free prize drawing celebrating the one millionth PAL Card (Powered Access Licence) ever issued.
Winners from countries including Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Turkey, UAE, United Kingdom, and the United States received prizes ranging from trips to the IPAF Summit and rental market reports to T-shirts, hi viz jackets, caps, pens, and clipboards. The draw was open to any of the more than half a million valid PAL Card holders who verified their PAL Card at www.ipaf.org/checkpal.
The five winners of trips to the IPAF Summit and International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs) this March in Washington, DC, USA, are: Natalie Bird, Reanne Graver, Colin Simpson, John Tominay, and Richard Willis. Another ten winners received IPAF Powered Access Rental Market Reports worth around $1,500 each.
“Congratulations to these five PAL Card holders! They will be joining us to hear world-class speakers at the IPAF Summit and be part of the industry’s annual celebration of excellence,” said Tim Whiteman, IPAF CEO. “These prizes celebrate the extraordinary international success of IPAF’s voluntary AWP operator training program which is administered by the industry’s not-for-profit trade association—a big thank-you to everybody who has contributed to its success over the years.”

The drawing was made by extracting the winners from a list of entrants in a random sequence using software supplied by IPAF’s IT partners Furness Internet and audited by software specialists Mercurytide. The names of the five principal winners were generated by Tony Whiteway, a partner with IPAF’s auditors CLB Coopers, who also oversaw the drawing of the other names and certified the impartiality of the entire process.
