\"\"<\/a>My name is Vince Kingman. I am the owner and Managing Director of London Haulage.<\/p>\n

With several bases across the Capital – London Haulage Ltd is based in London and provides 26 x 32-tonne concrete mixers, to the construction industry for the delivery of dry, semi-dry and wet concrete. We specialise in sub-contract haulage for Hanson, Cemex, Capital and Brett Concrete as well as day hire of concrete mixers for various customers.<\/p>\n

London Haulage was established in 1989, becoming a limited company in 2009.<\/p>\n

We have taken every step to make sure our vehicles are safer for other road users including, Cycle Safety side guards and audible warning speakers etc. This was carried out to make sure, our fleet was safer on the road. It has been worth making these changes especially the introduction of 360-degree cameras, that save our vehicles from being falsely blamed for road incidents, and therefore our drivers being more accountable and responsible with every moment being recorded<\/p>\n

London Haulage became a Bronze member back in 2014, as a company we were looking how we could become a compliant transport company. Company\u2019s we were working for suggested FORS.<\/p>\n

Going into our first Bronze audit we were nervous and yet surprised how much went into gaining the accreditation. What we were proud of was the sense that we had a good structure in place and something to aim for until the next audit.<\/p>\n

Once we had firmly established the Bronze, we decided the time was right to move up to Silver, more and more customers had been asking us for Silver.<\/p>\n

We have been asked to tender for work where you must hold the Gold standard, we believe that we are in the right place to gain Gold accreditation.<\/p>\n

After achieving Silver, we took advantage of all the benefits and tools, FORS had to offer. This included the wide range of FORS toolbox talks and performance management toolkits, which helped us to achieve our target of KMPL, by noting clear consumption data for each vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The easy access training resources FORS has to offer to our drivers, has remarkably improved their driving ability and knowledge. After completing some of the online modules, we have begun to implement techniques in order to increase the safety of vulnerable road users and our drivers. We have also begun to implement ways to improve on our fleet fuel efficiency, and emission output.<\/p>\n

\u2018Our fleet has seen significant improvements in their KMPL and overall working standards\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are working with the drivers to reduce the damage to the environment as well as modernising the fleet to new state of the art vehicles which are better for the environment.<\/p>\n

We are now accountable for our PCN\u2019s, before they were paid off by the company we were working for. This allows us to see the impact our drivers have.<\/p>\n
