Logistics UK has announced a strategic partnership with Axa UK to help fleet operators and members manage and reduce risk exposure.
The partnership is intended to help reduce risks associated with operating vehicle fleets of all sizes and to help operators identify potential issues before they escalate.
Jemma James, director of partnerships at Logistics UK, said, “We are delighted to be working in a strategic partnership with Axa to help increase risk awareness, and to support with various measures before they escalate. Axa’s reputation for excellence and broad experience in risk management and avoidance will be of great benefit to fleet operators as they navigate toward safer fleet operation and compliance, and we look forward to building a long and successful partnership.”
Mark Sutcliffe, Axa’s UK head of fleet risk engineering, said, “It is great to have agreed a partnership with an industry-leading group like Logistics UK that shares the Axa vision of risk management. Logistics UK’s belief in cultural change being the catalyst for good risk management aligns fully with our approach. The organization’s resources, expertise and influence will support us to bring a whole-industry approach to our clients when developing robust risk management programs.”
James said risk management, compliance and improving operational standards remain a priority for Logistics UK members. “It is in all our interests to ensure fleets are being operated as safely and efficiently as possible,” she noted.
Logistics UK represents logistics businesses across the road, rail, water and air sectors, as well as buyers of freight services, such as retailers and manufacturers. The organization says the sector supports more than seven million people employed in the making, selling and moving of goods across the UK.
