What is Van Excellence?

Van Excellence is a scheme designed with safety and efficiency at its core, by some of the best van operators in the UK; facilitated and managed by Logistics UK to recognise excellence and improve operational standards. At its heart are the Van Excellence Standards outlining 'what good looks like' in van operations.

Van Excellence has been developed to allow operators to ensure their standards of operation meet the requirements of the audit standards, thus enabling them to be recognised as van operators that adhere to a best practice framework. It is a sign to your customers, clients, staff and supply chain that your operation adheres to the highest safety standards.

The Van Excellence Standards

The Van Excellence Standards represent the current minimum best practice standards required to ensure the safe operation of van fleets regardless of fleet size or their industry sector. See all the elements of the standards here

Getting Started with Van Excellence

Van Excellence aims to help operators improve standards within their operations and become recognised for these high standards. We recognise that all van operations are different; in size, in set-up and along their journey to improve standards. Therefore we have developed a series of steps that may help you to get started and decide the best route for your business to get the most out of Van Excellence.
