First four FORS Practitioners are recognised
The Tyne and Wear Freight Partnership is pressing ahead with its successful Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS). 47 companies, operating over 3,000 vehicles in total, are now registered with the scheme.
At workshops on 5th and 19th September, the first four FORS Practitioners were recognised. These are freight managers whose companies are bronze-accredited FORS members and who have attended the entire suite of 9 workshops.

David Myers (Health and Safety Manager, Ales Smiles) received his certificate at the 19th September workshop from Paul Davison (AECOM).
Tyne and Wear’s FORS scheme is being supported by Transport for London and also forms part of C-LIEGE, an Intelligent Energy Europe project promoting clean and energy efficient freight transport in European cities.
