At Jacksons Fencing, we pride ourselves not only on the quality of our products and manufacturing techniques but also on the standards of our transport operations. We have a considerable fleet that plays a vital role in ensuring timely, safe, and reliable deliveries to our customers.

Jacksons Fencing is pleased to announce that it has successfully attained the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) Silver accreditation, advancing from the Bronze status held since 2015. This milestone reflects the company’s continued commitment to enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability within its fleet operations.

FORS is a voluntary industry standard designed to elevate fleet safety, operational efficiency, and environmental performance. The Silver accreditation demonstrates Jacksons Fencing's rigorous adherence to best practices, encompassing improved driver training, environmental management, and vehicle safety protocols.

Since earning the Bronze status nearly a decade ago, Jacksons Fencing has consistently invested in its fleet to ensure ongoing progress. Key upgrades to the company’s 21-strong HGV fleet include:

  • Advanced telematics: Implementing real-time monitoring systems for superior vehicle performance management.
  • Enhanced driver training: Offering specialised training that focuses on eco-driving techniques and road safety, empowering drivers to operate efficiently and safely.
  • Vehicle safety upgrades: Installing proximity sensors, advanced cameras, and cyclist-warning systems to enhance safety for vulnerable road users.
  • Environmental initiatives: Optimising routes and introducing lower-emission vehicles to reduce the environmental impact of fleet operations.

    • This achievement further reinforces Jacksons Fencing's pledge to operate in line with the highest industry standards. Jacksons Fencing’s fleet of lorries is more than just a delivery mechanism—it’s a key component of our commitment to operating at the highest industry standards. As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain focused on improving the safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability of our operations, ensuring that we provide the best possible service to our customers.

    Peter Jackson, CEO of Jacksons Fencing, remarked on the milestone:

    "Achieving FORS Silver is a significant accomplishment and a reflection of our unwavering commitment to excellence in every area of our operations. It not only showcases our dedication to safety and sustainability but also assures our customers and partners that we meet rigorous industry standards.”
