Logistics UK has announced a new strategic partnership with AXA UK, with the aim of helping fleet operators and members to manage and reduce risk exposure.

As Jemma James, Logistics UK's Director of Partnerships, explains, the intention is to work alongside AXA to help reduce risks inherent in operating vehicle fleets of all sizes, and assist operators to identify potential issues before they arise:

"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 towards safer fleet operation and compliance, and we look forward to building a long and successful partnership."

Speaking about the partnership, AXA's UK Head of Fleet Risk Engineering Mark Sutcliffe 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 organisation's resources, expertise and influence will support us to bring a whole industry approach to our clients when developing robust risk management programmes."

As Ms James concludes, risk management, compliance and improving operational standards are a priority for all Logistics UK members and it works with them in many ways to support risk reduction: "It is in all our interests to ensure fleets are being operated as safely and efficiently as possible. To find out more about the role that AXA and Logistics UK can play in improving your fleet's compliance and safety standards, please email customersupport@logistics.org.uk and we will send further information about the services this joint partnership can offer."
