The number of driving licence checks being undertaken by CFC Solutions has quadrupled in the last year.

The company says that its Licence Link product – which checks with the DVLA database online to see whether drivers have any convictions – has become its fastest adopted software in more than 30 years of trading.

Neville Briggs, managing director at CFC, said: “Employers are recognising that ensuring drivers have the licences and points which they claim is an essential part of any risk effective management policy.

“It is something that fleets are taking seriously and so a product like Licence Link, which essentially automates the task of licence checking, is an obvious solution. It is part of the ongoing process of fleets becoming more risk aware.”
