At the recent IPAF Platform Türkiye Konferansı, attendees were treated to a vibrant exhibition of artwork by the children of İstanbul Vinç employees. This special initiative, organised as part of İstanbul Vinç’s corporate social responsibility programme, brought imagination and engineering together in a unique and uplifting way.The Junior League Painting Competition invited 29 young artists to depict the world of powered access through their own eyes. The result was a joyful collection of colourful paintings that transformed lifting platforms into apple pickers, landmark restorers, and vehicles of dreams. These artworks were proudly displayed in the entrance foyer of the conference venue, drawing admiration and smiles from delegates across the industry.Peter Douglas, CEO and Managing Director of IPAF, praised the initiative:“At our recent event in Turkey, I was blown away to see a powered access ‘Art Exhibition’ in the entrance to the conference hall. These pictures, drawn and painted by the children of İstanbul Vinç employees, were incredible. What Işıl and the İstanbul Vinç team have done is involve the next generation in our industry, and this is key to sustaining the powered access industry in the future. This is a worldwide issue, and I applaud İstanbul Vinç for their initiative. It would be great to replicate this around the world at IPAF events in the future.”The initiative not only showcased the creativity of the young artists but also strengthened the sense of community and family within İstanbul Vinç who were a bronze sponsor of the event. It reflected a powerful message: that lifting people safely isn’t just about platforms; it’s about people, values, and nurturing the next generation.Işıl Bilgin, Marketing Manager at İstanbul Vinç, said: “It was a delightful contrast to see how the serious world of machinery transformed into a joyful, imaginative space when viewed through children’s eyes.“We believe this initiative can serve as an inspiration for future projects in our industry, bringing families, creativity, and corporate values together. When the imaginative world of children meets the engineering precision of platforms, the result is something truly inspiring – and we are proud to have brought that joy to the conference floor.” İstanbul Vinç hopes this project will inspire similar initiatives across the global powered access industry.View some of the wonderful artworks below.
