TITLE Chairman
ORGANISATION Brewery Logistics Group Penalty charge notices PCNs or parking fines are the bane of all operators making city and town centre deliveries, especially in London.
The fight against PCNs has been fought by a number of people, notably Gordon Telling and Natalie Chapman at the FTA, and Graham Rennie and Joanna Pegg at 3663, but the most vocal, passionate (bloody-minded, some might say) and longest-serving is Mike Bracey at the Brewery Logistics Group (BLG), which represents the interests of the major brewers and their delivery contractors.
In partnership with Westminster City Council, the BLG part-funded the employment of Hayley Regan as an account manager tasked with bridging the gap between the council and the needs of those making deliveries. The result? An Linexpected success as PCN volumes dropped by nearly 80% for BLG members.
