Verizon Connect has been awarded official supplier accreditation by the Fleet Operator Recognition (FORS) scheme, and will work to drive efficiencies and promote safe operations.

FORS is a voluntary scheme for UK fleets which aims to raise safety standards and improve the quality of operations across fleet-based businesses.

It helps equip both drivers and fleet managers with the tools they need to meet its standard requirements and enhance the performance of commercial vehicles on Britain’s roads.

The scheme has three levels of recognition and Verizon Connect has the ability to help fleets operators in FORS’ Bronze, Silver and Gold categories.

Verizon Connect’s vice president EMEA Derek Bryan (pictured) said: “Verizon Connect prides itself on helping to improve the safety, productivity and efficiency of fleets, while lowering operational costs so we’re proud to have been awarded supplier accreditation by the FORS.

“Many companies rely on our platform to promote best practice across their business.

"Lots of businesses are considering ways to not only manage their vehicles and employees, but also track the performance of other valuable equipment across the supply chain, and we look forward to working closely with FORS to help them drive efficiencies and promote safe operations.”
