Do you run a fleet of HGVs, vans, mini-buses, coaches or any other vehicle as part of your business?
If you’re after an industry-recognised accreditation that shows your business is serious about road safety and good transport operations, achieving the FORS Bronze Accreditation with JCS Transport Consultancy is a good move.
Are you looking to speed up the process? We can help.
JCS is one of the UK’s leading FORS practitioners with more than 45 years’ combined industry experience and over 400 audits under our belt. We can help to fast-track your FORS accreditation in just 30 days.
Through providing expert consultancy and FORS audits, we’ve help all type of HGV operators achieve FORS at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels. Our knowledge and expertise speaks for itself. We have helped many clients to achieve their accreditation with flying colours, including Croydon Council, Cordwallis Group, TDW Distribution, Wilson & Scott, and Access Solutions.
FORS stands for the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme. It’s a national accreditation scheme that promotes safety and good practice for commercial vehicle operators.
FORS Bronze is the entry level award. It proves that a business complies with high standards of vehicle safety, environmental impact and operational matters like vulnerable road user protection, fuel and tyre usage.
While FORS is voluntary, it makes strong business sense to become accredited as it opens the door to new commercial opportunities. These days, more and more big contracts will only consider tenders from companies that have FORS accredited status.
At JCS Transport, we can help your business to gain FORS bronze, silver or gold accreditation. We will ensure your entire fleet adheres to FORS guidelines and, if you would like us to manage your FORS accreditation, we can do that too.
FORS Gold accreditation requires your organisation to follow best practice procedures throughout your supply chain and to demonstrate your have made improvements against the findings captured with the FORS Silver standard.
FORS Silver accreditation is confirmation that you have best practice procedures in place and that your fleet is compliant with the CLOCS Standard for Construction Logistics and with TfL’s WRRR (Work Related Road Risk).
FORS Bronze accreditation is the entry level qualification that confirms operators adhere to good practice and comply with FORS standards in relation to vehicle safety, operational usage such as fuel and tyre usage, and environmental impact.
Unlike some other transport consultancies that vary their price (normally upwards), JCS works on a standard pricing structure. This applies whether you operate one or 100 vehicles.
We have helped 300+ operators achieve this prestigious accreditation. As a current FORS Associate, a FORS Gold accreditaton holder, and pre-audit provider (as well as active FORS auditor), recent feedback on our services can be viewed by following these links

The FORS Audit process itself is not to be underestimated. It is a very thorough audit.
The service we provide would include two days on site by either Jamie or one of our consultants (also current FORS auditors). It would include construction of a transport management system and drivers handbook tailored to your current operations (unlike many others) and the FORS standard requirements, currently v5.1.
Would be an overview of your current operating procedures, a basic transport compliance audit and information gathering to enable the construction of the transport management system (FORS is a mix of transport compliance and best practice).
Would be delivery of the constructed documents and guidance on how to implement these in preparation for the FORS audit.
We expect our clients to achieve accreditation within 30 days of delivery of the transport management system. This is to enable you to communicate all of the requirements to your drivers and for them to complete the required e-Learning modules.
Once you are fully compliant with everything in place, a rigorous FORS audit will take place
JCS Transport will be there every step of the way to provide help and advice. We will ensure your business is fully prepared and ready to be inspected.
Passing the audit and being awarded FORS accreditation is evidence that your business follows the best procedures in fleet operations. It puts you one step ahead of your competition.

We’re the professionals who can steer you on the road to FORS success.
The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a national scheme that promotes good practice for commercial vehicle operators. The accreditation’s main objective is to raise quality and efficiency standards within fleets to the highest levels. FORS focuses on educating and improving best practice procedures in safety, efficiency, and environmental protection.
The result is that your company will manage work-related road risk (WRRR) better. FORS is open to operators of vans, lorries, mini-buses, coaches and other vehicles as well as to the organisations that award contracts to those operators. While voluntary, FORS accreditation makes strong business sense.
As well as demonstrating that your firm meets high standards, you’ll be opening up new opportunities for growth because more and more companies now insist their suppliers and contractors must be FORS accredited in order to be considered for contracts. They want to cover themselves and FORS is your way of helping them to do that. In addition, the fuel efficiency you’ll achieve as a result of your FORS accreditation can lead to significant cost savings as well as being less harmful to the environment.
