JPS Upholds Plant Hire and Construction Industry Standards with FORS Silver and Constructionline Accreditations

We are extremely excited to announce our recent FORS Silver and Constructionline accreditations. These achievements underscore our commitment to setting the highest standards and best practices in the plant hire and construction industry within the UK.

Why choose a Tool & Plant Hire firm with a FORS Silver Accreditation?

The FORS Silver accreditation confirms that we employ good practice and comply with the requirements set by FORS Standard. This includes demonstrating dedication to driver and vehicle safety, combined with improving operating practices through effective monitoring of fuel and tyre usage.

Earning this industry-standard accreditation was a huge achievement and our team put in a lot of hard work, which we are very proud of. It required us to gather and analyse data rigorously and invest in staff training to ensure we not only meet but exceed the exacting standards set by FORS.

What are the benefits of Constructionline accreditations?

Our recognition by Constructionline is a significant milestone in our journey as a high-quality supplier in the plant hire and construction industries. To achieve this accolade, we underwent a comprehensive pre-qualification assessment, positioning us prominently within the UK’s largest network of construction buyers. This recognition highlights our dedication to excellence in plant hire and construction services and will enable relative clients to find us more easily.

Leading the Way in Sustainability for Plant Hire and Construction

Sustainability is at the heart of our values, particularly within the plant hire and construction sectors. We’ve already made substantial investments in sustainability, including transitioning to a 70% electric fleet and expanding our offering to include bespoke industry-leading welfare units. These accreditations further bolster our mission to elevate industry standards across plant hire and construction.

By aligning with these industry benchmarks, we are not only enhancing value throughout the plant hire and construction supply chain but also driving efficiency across our business, ensuring that we lead by example, which is so important when it comes to maintaining standards.

Why did we choose FORS and Constructionline?

John Young, our Managing Director at JPS Platforms, says: “We are incredibly proud to have received these accreditations and continue to enhance JPS as one of the leading tool and plant hire firms. Since the business was acquired by UK Hire Group in 2022, we have implemented a range of positive changes that has seen the company grow from strength to strength making us a safer, smarter and greener company.”

Shane Walker, General Manager of JPS Group, added: “We have worked really hard to remodel JPS Group Services in the past year. With new product offerings and now new accreditations, we are excited to be moving into a space where we can offer our clients a broader end to end service. From tower installations and welfare solutions to simple tool hire, we are proud to offer it all.”

From being recognised as one of the top 30 powered access companies in the UK by Cranes and Access in its annual survey to investing in the largest sustainable welfare units available on the market, we are passionate about taking action to commit toward bettering our service. Our journey towards excellence in plant and tool hire and construction is ongoing and we are committed to continuous improvement, sustainability, and delivering the highest quality services to our valued clients.
