FORS has announced details of its 2022 annual conference, which takes place on Tuesday 12 July 2022 at the Manchester Central Convention Complex.
Free to attend for all FORS-accredited operators, the event returns after a two-year hiatus and is expected to attract an influential audience of stakeholders from across the transport sector. In total, up to 700 delegates are expected to attend.
New for this year is an exhibition area where FORS Affinity Partners and FORS Associates will showcase their products and services.
The event will also feature a conference looking at areas such as decarbonisation, how FORS promotes business growth and how it remains an essential partner for transport operations of any size.
Chaired by Andy Salter, MD of DVV Media and former editor of Commercial Motor magazine, the conference will feature speakers and panel presentations from a variety of industry experts – including Andy Rhodes from HS2, Wayne Allen from Galaxy Insulation & Dry Lining Limited, Steven Norris and more.
In addition, Sopra Steria – the new FORS administrator – will share its vision about the scheme and will provide an update on current developments, including the implementation of version 6 of the FORS Standard.
The conference will also include Drivetech as the headline sponsor. The risk management and driver training specialist runs an extensive programme, including eLearning, full on-road coaching, workshops and bespoke ‘driver days’. It’s also one of five FORS audit providers strategically located throughout the UK.
Ian Henderson, FORS concession director, said: “This conference is important on so many levels as it gives us the chance to connect in person and share ideas to shape the future. We really want this to be a collaborative event and look forward to welcoming everyone on the day. I would also like to thank Drivetech for its role as headline sponsor, we appreciate the company’s support and commitment to FORS and industry best practice.”
