Kings Langley haulier SMA Worldwide celebrates FORS Silver award

SMA, which is a Palletways UK member specialising in palletised collections and deliveries across Hertfordshire, achieved FORS Bronze accreditation five years ago and last year decided to work towards FORS Silver.

The voluntary standard requires operators to demonstrate improvements in fleet safety, environmental impact and efficiency, as well as a solid foundation in compliance.

Dr Attia, SMA Worldwide chairman and chief executive, said: “The FORS silver accreditation sends out a strong signal to our customers large and small that we’re committed to continuous improvement and setting high standards across all our operations.

“This higher level of accreditation enhances our compliance and drives us forward in constantly refining our processes and performance. Our Silver achievement is testament to our team’s hard work and dedication throughout the process.”

SMA Worldwide offers a range of courier and logistics services, including worldwide air and sea freight, secure storage and warehousing and UK and European pallets. Based at Langley Waters, in Kings Langley, its specialist services include professional packaging and marine insurance. Deliveries are all tracked and visible to customers.

Warwick Trimble, network director for Palletways UK, added: “This accreditation is a fantastic accolade for SMA and testament to its objective of continuously meeting and often exceeding the required standards.

“For customers it reaffirms that they’ve chosen a partner committed to delivering a great service, and it opens doors to new customers who are looking for a reliable and reputable logistics partner.”
