FORS members are to benefit from a latest freeze to membership subscription and audit fees.
The freeze for 2020 means fees have now been held at the same rates for five years running.
FORS has also published its 2019 Annual Review, which highlights further benefits open to members, including a new accessible eLearning course focusing on pedestrian safety, the recently launched mobile version of its Fleet Management System developed by FleetCheck and exclusive discounted fuel prices with FORS Fuel Expert fuel card offered through FORS Affinity Partner Fuel Card Services.
FORS director, John Hix said: “As always, costs remain of huge importance to operators, so it is vital that FORS continues to ensure best value for our diverse membership base.
“Our members recognise the value-add FORS brings, with our recent membership satisfaction survey finding two thirds of members questioned stating that their business had received indirect benefits as a result of FORS membership.
“Holding our fees at the 2015 level highlights our commitment to our members and recognises their continued investment in driving forward best practice with FORS.”
Figures from the 2019 report also show that 5,031 FORS Bronze audits were conducted last year, with an overall pass rate of 73%, compared to 71% in 2018. The research also shows a third of respondents highlighted the biggest indirect benefits of FORS were increased work winning over competitors and improved customer satisfaction.
