James Burrell Builders Merchants renews FORS accreditation

James Burrell is pleased to announce that they have retained the prestigious FORS Silver accreditation again for 2025, a testament to its unwavering commitment to achieve the highest standards in safety. This achievement is the outcome of meticulous compliance with standards designed to improve road risk management, enhance safety efficiency, and promote environmental sustainability.

The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary accreditation initiative for fleet operators, designed to elevate the quality of fleet operations and recognise those operators who exemplify best practices in safety, fuel efficiency, vehicle emissions, and operational improvements.

Paul Butler, Health & Safety and Transport manager says: “We are thrilled to have successfully secured the Silver FORS accreditation once again. As a business we are fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency in our fleet operations while minimising our environmental impact in every possible way.”

As a family-owned business, James Burrell continually seeks opportunities to improve its initiatives and policies. With over 145 years of trading experience, the company operates from a network of ten branches across the North-East and Yorkshire.
