We’re pleased to confirm that we’ve successfully achieved our Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) Bronze certification, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to safe, compliant and well-managed fleet operations.
A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR FLEET MANAGEMENT
Our FORS Bronze certification followed an independent audit of our Single Operating Centre in Ilkeston, reviewing our fleet management arrangements across key areas including management systems, vehicle safety, driver compliance and operational controls.
The audit confirmed full compliance across all assessed areas, with no actions raised.
Our fleet includes a mix of vans, cars and HGVs supporting projects nationwide, and the certification demonstrates that robust processes are firmly embedded across our transport and plant activities.
ABOUT FORS
The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is the UK’s leading voluntary accreditation scheme for fleet operators, promoting higher standards across road transport operations.
Established in 2008, FORS provides a recognised framework for safer, smarter and more sustainable fleet management, with over 4,700 certified companies and thousands of accredited vehicles operating across the UK and Europe.
Through its Bronze, Silver and Gold certification levels, FORS supports continual improvement by helping organisations strengthen vehicle safety, enhance driver competence, improve operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact — benefiting both road users and the wider community.
SUPPORTING SAFER, SMARTER OPERATIONS
FORS provides a structured framework that helps operators continually improve how vehicles and drivers are managed. For Rayden Engineering Ltd (REL), it plays an important role in:
- Managing work-related road risk.
- Maintaining safe, roadworthy vehicles.
- Ensuring drivers are trained, informed & supported.

A WORD FROM OUR TRANSPORT & PLANT MANAGER
Reflecting on the achievement, Helen Walker, Transport & Plant Manager, commented:
“Achieving FORS Bronze certification is a great reflection of the systems and standards we have in place across our fleet. It gives our clients confidence that safety, compliance and professionalism are central to how we operate every day.
FORS also provides a strong platform for continual improvement, and we’ll continue building on this foundation as our operations evolve.”
LOOKING AHEAD
While Bronze certification is an important milestone, it’s just one step in our wider journey. We remain committed to continually reviewing and strengthening our transport and fleet practices, with higher levels of FORS certification firmly in our sights.
