The Ready Group stands alone when it comes to the highest standards of safety and environmental sustainability. We’re proud to say that we are the ONLY group of coach operators in the UK to be silver accredited by FORS (Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme).

That’s because we’ve always prioritised the safety of our passengers and our drivers while being fully committed to reducing our environmental impact. We are always exploring new ways to operate more efficiently and minimise our carbon footprint. This is important not only for the sake of the environment but also for the health and well-being of our passengers.

The Ready Group is proud to be part of an organisation that shares our commitment to safety and sustainability, and we will continue to work hard to uphold these standards.

What is FORS?

The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary accreditation scheme for coach fleet operators which aims to raise performance above the legal minimum. For coach operators to become FORS-accredited, they must undergo a rigorous assessment process that covers all aspects of their operation, from vehicle maintenance and driver training to fuel efficiency and emissions management.

Why is FORS important?

FORS encourages best practices in coach fleet operations in order to improve safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. As a result, it offers considerable benefits for both coach operators and passengers alike. Some of the key benefits of FORS accreditation include:

  • Improved road safety

Strict compliance with FORS standards helps reduce accidents and road traffic collisions (RTCs)

  • Enhanced reputation

Being part of FORS demonstrates to your customers that you are committed to operating safely and sustainably

  • Lower costs 

Efficient operations lead to lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions, which saves money while benefiting the environment

  • Increased productivity

Comprehensive coach driver training helps improve journey times and reduces schedule disruptions caused by RTCs
