Dewsbury haulier Brocklehurst Transport has achieved FORS silver accreditation, demonstrating its commitment to safety and sustainability.

The Yorkshire firm said the endorsement reflected its adherence to compliance with the relevant standards, with a particular focus on managing road risk, safety efficiency and environmental protection.

In 2018, the company achieved FORS bronze, with the business employing good transport practices, including being able to demonstrate dedication to driver and vehicle safety and improving operating practices through the monitoring of fuel and tyre usage.

Since being awarded and maintaining the bronze standard, Brocklehurst Transport has invested in new vehicles, trailers and vehicle safety equipment to meet the FORS Silver accreditation.

It said it had implemented a company-wide focus on the enhanced safety efficiencies and environmental standards required to achieve the silver accreditation.

MD Dave Webster said: “We are committed to a programme of continuous improvement with our drivers and fleet.

“Our recent FORS silver accreditation demonstrates that the team are always looking to take our safety and fleet operational standards to the next level.”

The Fortec and Pall-Ex member was established in 1986 and offers a range of logistics solutions including general haulage, distribution and storage services.
