Driver performance improved

Travis Perkins owns home improvement retailer Wickes, operating more than 2,500 trucks. In 2009, Briggs Equipment undertook research which found that forklifts were not receiving the proper care and attention needed. Impressed by Briggs' research, Travis Perkins adopted Briggs' 'We Can Handle It' campaign.

Briggs presented Travis Perkins with a health & safety check pack which included damage sheets and posters to highlight costs in everyday situations, and daily check charts to encourage a check ethos.

"We consider the 'We Can Handle It' campaign a big success as it has encouraged operators to keep the trucks in better condition and report damages more effectively," comments Graham Bellman, group transport manager, Travis Perkins.
