ROBERT MOFFETT AND MARTIN McVICAR
If you were to meet Robert Moffett or Martin McVicar in your local, there’s no doubt the conversation would flow easily. You’d very quickly realise they were from Ireland, but it’s very, very unlikely you’d ever get to learn much about their remarkable achievements. Despite being exceptionally talented engineers and businessmen who have immense pride in both their workforce and a product line they’ve invented and turned into a world leader, they are also remarkably modest. Joint owners of the materials handling specialist, Combilift, Robert and Martin’s story has been one of courage, hard work, determination and innovation. It’s a story that in just twenty years has seen the idea they first produced in a fifty thousand square foot factory in the heart of rural Ireland take eighty five countries by storm and establish itself as the market leader in a niche it’s taken as its own.
