FORS Silver Accreditation: Your Guarantee of Safety & Compliance

Links Courier has a firm, long-term commitment to the FORS program, ensuring our operations consistently meet the highest industry standards. Our efficient fleet, supported by advanced back-office systems, enables us to operate with a verified level of safety and efficiency that sets us apart.

What is FORS (The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme)?

The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary accreditation program that promotes best practices for commercial vehicle operators. It provides a framework for transport companies to measure and improve performance in key areas, with a primary focus on safety, efficiency, and environmental protection. Achieving FORS Silver accreditation is a clear sign that a company is committed to operating well above the standard industry minimums.

Why Choose a FORS Silver Accredited Courier? The Benefits for You

Partnering with a FORS Silver accredited courier gives you significant advantages and complete peace of mind. For your business, our accreditation means:

Guaranteed Site Access: Many construction sites, particularly in London and major urban centres, mandate FORS Silver as a minimum requirement for all delivery vehicles (in line with CLOCS/WRRR standards). Our accreditation ensures we can access these restricted sites, preventing costly delays and failed deliveries.
Enhanced Safety & Reduced Risk: Our drivers undergo continuous, specialised training in road safety and protecting vulnerable road users. This commitment to safety minimises risk to your cargo, our team, and the public.
Improved Efficiency & Reliability: FORS standards require us to run an efficient fleet with strict protocols for vehicle maintenance and fuel management. This translates to a more reliable service for you and a lower carbon footprint for your deliveries.
Independently Verified Quality: Our FORS Silver status is not just a claim; it is proof that we have been independently audited and verified to meet the highest operational standards in the logistics industry.

Flexible FORS Delivery Options

We offer two ways to leverage our FORS Silver fleet:

For urgent deliveries: We can dispatch a dedicated FORS Silver vehicle to handle the entire journey directly.
This commitment to safety and compliance is especially critical for our more demanding services, including Heavy Haulage and the transport of hazardous materials with our ADR Courier services.
