FORS bronze renewal
We’re pleased to announce that Joseph Ash Galvanizing’s Medway plant has again met the bronze level requirements of the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme.
Medway’s accreditation with FORS has just been renewed.
The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary scheme that covers all aspects of vehicle emissions, fuel efficiency, economical operations and safety.
It provides peace of mind to vehicle operators that legislative requirements are being met. It also enables vehicle operators to know they are helping to increase efficiency, win work, and reduce costs.
Finally, it enables operators to know they are becoming safer and greener.
Thank you to the FORS team for assessing us. Thank you also to the team at Joseph Ash Medway who worked hard to receive the award.

A new acquisition.
We are delighted to have acquired Premier Galvanizing Hull and Corby, an excellent company with a wonderful reputation for offering high quality and superb service to areas of England where Joseph Ash was not previously present. The business will run independently and none of either companies’ factory facilities will be affected – customers will continue to have absolute choice over the point of service.
Medway Galvanising Company changes its trading style to Joseph Ash Medway.
In May 2013 Joseph Ash Galvanizing acquired Medway Galvanising Company Ltd in Kent, in order to expand the customer base into the South East. Medway Galvanising Company Ltd (also known as MGC) was a natural fit for Joseph Ash Galvanizing’s acquisition plans due to the location, and the shared values of product quality and customer service.
For the last two years, Medway Galvanising Company Ltd has kept its trading style but we feel that the name is slightly inaccurate given the other services and products that it offers (Powder Coating, Shot Blasting and the much respected Mono Hinge playground gates), and that, given also the large number of former Joseph Ash London customers that it currently services, we might as well bring it into line with our other plants. It is now therefore trading as Joseph Ash Medway.*
This will allow a more joined-up approach to our marketing for both companies, but will not affect customers’ relationship with the company in any way. We hope customers approve of this minor change.
(*Please note this is purely a trading style change, not a legal change to the Medway Galvanising Company Ltd name.)
The Joseph Ash Group is home to nine galvanizing plants across the UK; here, we’re shining the spotlight on our plant in Telford, home to both the widest galvanizing bath in the UK and our specialist spin galvanizing facility.
