Taking place on 6 November 2019 in London’s Alexandra Palace, Freight in the City Expo will be full of key decision-makers looking for the latest technology and equipment to make urban freight movements safer, cleaner, quieter and more efficient.

Gate teams sometimes have a thankless task – they’re out in all weathers, poorly paid, suffer abuse from the general public and even lorry drivers – yet are critical to ensuring vehicles enter and leave the site safely and efficiently.

Greater Manchester is forging ahead in driving CLOCS adoption and implementation across the city-region.

The CLOCS Standard requires principal contractors to specify CLOCS compliance but what are organisations actually asking for?

Delivery Management Systems (DMS) are used to maximise the productivity of the construction site and fleet operators servicing the site. CLOCS is currently conducting a survey of 100 principal contractor CLOCS champions to understand their current use and ideas for improvement.

FORS – the voluntary accreditation scheme for any company operating commercial vehicles anywhere in the UK or overseas – will be hosting a series of briefings designed to assist organisations that specify FORS in their supply chain, or that intend to do so in the future.

CLPs are integral to the CLOCS Standard, providing the structured framework for understanding and managing construction vehicle journeys for a proposed development.

Sean McGrae, Senior Manager National Transport at Tarmac, presented at the CLOCS Conference 2019 on the 20th March 2019 in Birmingham.

Peter Sharman, Associate Director for Sustainability, Mulalley, explained how they are implementing CLOCS as a principal contractor at the CLOCS Conference 2019 on the 20th March 2019 in Birmingham. 

As a client and CLOCS Champion, Land Securities (Landsec) is committed to ensuring the safest construction vehicle journeys to reduce collisions, emissions, congestion and reputational damage not just in and around London but across all our UK development.

CLOCS is all about taking positive action – and some CLOCS Champions are going the extra mile (well 326 miles actually!) to raise funds for Action Medical Research.
