Sheffield University Management School is holding a workshop on 28 September aimed at local authority transport planners, logistics operators and transport managers.
The objectives of the workshop are to raise awareness of the impact and implications that urban transport policy has on crucial freight movements and operations, and to identify how to make more informed and efficient transport policies in the future.
Were you aware that organisations including trade associations, professional institutes and guilds, can apply to FORS to act as a certification body for the scheme?
To become a FORS Certification Body, organisations must apply and adhere to the processes and requirements set out in the FORS ‘Requirements for certification bodies’ manual which should be read in conjunction with the FORS Standard. The purpose of the requirements is to ensure that all FORS Certification Bodies offer a consistent high quality service to members.
Congratulations to two FORS members who were winners at the annual Transport and Logistics awards organised by Export & Freight magazine.
Sawyers Transport Ltd, a FORS registered company was named European Haulier of the Year while Darren Wylde from Mercedes-Benz UK Ltd (FORS Associate) was named Technician of the Year.
On 22 September, as part of GreenFleet’s Arrive’n’Drive event, Paul Wilkes, Business Service Manager, and Daniel Bowden, Performance Manager, from FORS will be facilitating a “Going Ultra Low with Commercial Vehicles” workshop.
The workshop aims to help commercial fleet operators gain a better understanding of the ultra-low and plug-in vehicle market, allowing them to ascertain whether this new technology can be assimilated into everyday transport operations.
