Accredited Forklift Training
We are an RTITB accredited partner, the UKs leading accrediting body for Forklift Operator Training. We deliver courses to improve compliance, reduce accidents and reduce costs.
Our FareShare depot has been operating for over 25 years. Last year we provided over 2 million meals of surplus food to community organisations across Central and South East Scotland. This work also enables us to provide on site training and employability support to individuals looking to upskill and gain employment.
We are delighted to be adding accredited Forklift training to the opportunities we can provide at our Edinburgh training centre: 5a Seafield Way, Edinburgh, EH15 1TB
