A special thanks to Sharon Plummer for helping guide More Site Services through their FORS audit. Thank you all for keeping our vehicles 100% compliant, we couldn't manage without your help!
I worked with Sharon to complete a last Minute FORS Audit when our Transport Manager was taken ill 2 months before our Bronze & Silver audits were due in 2025. She was excellent in her guidance & together we were able to submit everything required to complete & pass both audits
Thank you Sharon

This is the first time that I have used Plumwood on behalf of my company Kind & Co Builders Ltd & the process could not have gone smoother. I dealt with Sharon Plummer & she could not have been more helpful & insightful. I will definitely use Plumwood in the future and would recommend them to everyone.
