Tradeteam First Drinks Logistics Company to Achieve TfL's FORS Silver Status

The Enfield branch of the UK's leading drinks distributor Tradeteam has become the first drinks logistics firm to be awarded silver status under Transport for London's Freight Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS).

Tradeteam was recently named among the first 19 of 357 registered members to achieve the prestigious accreditation.

FORS, a key project in TfL's London Freight Plan, provides a quality and performance benchmark to help freight companies working in the capital become safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly. Tradeteam has been actively involved with the scheme since its launch in April 2008.

To achieve silver status companies must provide and maintain six months of accurate benchmarking data including CO2 emissions, congestion and collision figures. This data will form the basis of threshold standards set for the first Gold awards in Spring 2011.

Tradeteam Operations Managers John Crosk and Russ Wordie recently collected the award from Kulveer Ranger, Transport Advisor to the Mayor of London, at a ceremony held at The Vinopolis in Central London.
