Hertfordshire haulier Aztek Logistics is now among a select group of fleet operators after it was awarded FORS Gold status for the 12th year in a row.

Hitting gold status requires operators to meet exacting requirements and undergo a comprehensive audit process, assessing their operational safety, efficiency and environmental impact.

It is reserved for organisations which go above and beyond the minimum requirements and continually invest in improving fleet operations, driver training and vehicle safety systems.

Celebrating its success, Aztek MD Stuart Charter said: “Becoming FORS Gold-accredited even once is a major achievement. Retaining it is equally as tough, so to have extended this streak beyond a decade is a true recognition of consistent excellence and a commitment to the very highest standards.

“As always, this is a team game and everyone here at Aztek has contributed to this success. High standards are part of the culture and this latest FORS Gold standard proves that.

“A huge well done to everyone involved in making this happen.”
