Joseph Ash Chesterfield achieves FORS Gold
12 November 2024
A huge congratulations to our Joseph Ash Chesterfield site, who has recently achieved the FORS Gold Accreditation for their transport fleet.
The accreditation makes the site the first galvanizer in the UK to achieve the Gold level of the accreditation.The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary scheme that businesses can undertake to demonstrate their commitment to safe road transport. The accreditation is no easy achievement, being the highest level the scheme achieves. Gold accreditation confirms that the business employs good practice, including dedication to driver and vehicle safety, combined with improving operating practices through effective monitoring of fuel and tyre usage.
Martin Hall, Divisional Manager at Joseph Ash Chesterfield, commented:
“This is a major achievement considering a significant number of dedicated transport companies are yet to achieve this esteemed level of certification.
“FORS Gold is becoming the new standard for a number of our contracts that require deliveries into our major cities. Major improvements have been made to our fleet including trailers and articulated vehicles which utilise some of the latest technology available.
“Chesterfield boast a bath size of 16.5m long by 1.7m wide and 2.65m deep, and can undertake all your collection and delivery needs anywhere in the UK.”
Well done to all involved!
