Mark Keily recognised with major industry award

Given by the IPAF Chairman and board members, the Founder’s Award recognises Mark's dedication to safety over the past 12 years.  He has been instrumental in promoting safety initiatives and set up and chaired the IPAF International Safety Committee since its inception in 2021, until 2023.

From drafting guidance and toolbox talks to contributing to safety campaigns and serving on multiple committees, his involvement has been extensive. During his IPAF tenure he has also played a leading part in the production of IPAF's annual global safety report, which aims to continuously enhance safety standards and practices across the world.

The award reflects Mark’s commitment to living and breathing Sunbelt Rentals’ safety value as well as driving our sustainability and safety messages through our Engage for Life and Our Planet programmes.

Phil Parker, CEO Designate at Sunbelt Rentals, said: “Congratulations to Mark on receiving this prestigious, and well deserved, award. It is a true reflection of his passion for improving safety, both within Sunbelt Rentals and on a global scale through his work with IPAF. I would like to thank Mark for his invaluable efforts in ensuring the safety of our colleagues, communities, and customers. His significant role in advancing our mission of safety excellence is deeply appreciated.”

The Award was presented at the IPAF AGM and Summit, which was attended by more than 400 delegates on Thursday 14th March.
