FORS - Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme

Almost immediately, FORS delivered demonstrable results. The fuel efficiencies, reduction in CO2 emissions, safety enhancements, and access to training materials, were in addition to the marketability of Conway's membership to potential clients. "Measurable improvements, evidenced through the use of the simple online FORS performance management too... l, encouraged us to build upon our successes and achievements, and we were delighted when, in 2009, we became one of the first batch of companies to achieve silver. "London is the primary market for the activities of FM Conway and we are striving to ensure that our activities do not have a negative impact upon the safety of cyclists, or any other parties, that use the road network. Our fleet of HGVs complete over 250,000 trips in and out of London each year and we consider it imperative that those journeys are undertaken in the safest way possible. Membership of FORS has provided a formal structure to manage our logistics operations, a mechanism for demonstrating our commitment and successes, in performance improvement, and a forum to develop and share best practice, through collaboration with other fleet operators and Transport for London." Safety was always, and remains, our key focus. We have now installed side-guards, nearside blind spot and reversing cameras, seven side-sensors, and audible 'vehicle turning left' warnings to every HGV in the fleet. In consideration of disturbance to residents, we specified a range of noise reducing measures to new additions to our fleet of tipper trucks. These measures including body liners, body locks, and rubber sealed tailboards resulted in our winning the prestigious 'Enterprise in Quiet Transport' award.Read More
