Double award for Palletline includes FORS Silver for London network

Palletline has been awarded two new industry accolades.

Picked up during the last quarter of 2019, they include a FORS Silver for Palletline London, whose syllabus for drivers covers areas including bicycle awareness, enhanced e-learning and the installation of CCTV and sensors on vehicles.

The second achievement was for ISO 5001:2018 Energy Management System, making it the only pallet network to achieve the standard. Benefits include a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a reduced carbon footprint, while driving energy use awareness throughout the company.
