Axle weighing specialist Axtec has become a recognised partner of the FTA’s Van Excellence scheme, joining a growing number of companies in their efforts to drive-up standards of safety and compliance among van operators.

Through Van Excellence, Axtec has aligned itself with some of the LCV business’s leading operators and industry bodies operators in the country.

Following a robust audit process, accreditation results in a certificate of excellence for van operators, while individual drivers can earn a certificate of competence which provides industry-approved training and an optional qualification.

Derek Hack, sales manager at Axtec, said: "We whole-heartedly endorse the Van Excellence Scheme.

"Accreditation shows that an operator takes safety and compliance seriously, gaining important recognition from the industry, their customers and the public at large”.
