There is no such thing as a forklift licence, but you do need to be suitably trained and authorised to operate one. Suitable training is usually recognised as being provided by an RTITB or ITSSAR qualified instructor in the UK.
Did you have any training on the truck? And where you authorised by the company to use it? Unless you went completely rogue as an employee, I'd say it's management's problem if they're knowingly letting you operate in that way.
I think people are using the term in the colloquial sense as "A record of having successfully completed appropriate training", rather than "Permitted by the government to carry out the activity"
