Karen Farrell receives the forklift from Martin McVicar
The Combilift Fundraiser in support of UNICEF has officially come to an end. Total tickets purchased, for a chance to win the 100,000th Combilift truck, raised more than €56,000 with Combilift proudly topping up that amount to bring the total donated to €100,000.
Congratulations go to winner winner Kareen Farrell: She recently visiting manufacturing headquarters in Monaghan, Ireland to collect her prize. Greeted by Managing Director Martin McVicar and members of the marketing team, Farrell enjoyed a factory tour before being presented with the keys to her brand-new multidirectional, electric counterbalance forklift.
Before departing, Farrell joined hundreds of Combilift employees for a final photo beside the 100,000th truck. “This milestone reflects the dedication, skill and commitment of our entire team, whose efforts continue to drive our growth as we look ahead to 2026,” according to a company statement.
On December, 19 Combilift presented a €100,000 check to UNICEF, handed over to Owen Buckley and Michaela Plunkett of UNICEF by McVicar at the annual Combilift Christmas party in the Hillgrove Hotel & Spa, Monaghan.
