No licence for firm that failed to add up
A COMPANY that was twice given the chance to produce evidence of financial repute has been refused a licence because it failed to do so.
Nationwide Logistics (UK), trading as R&H Haulage, had sought a new licence for 10 vehicles and 15 trailers before the North Western Deputy Traffic Commissioner Mark Hinchiiffe.
It had been operating under interim authority since January 2008. In December 2007, the TC Beverley Bell revoked the licence of R&H Haulage and disqualified that company and director Tony Bragg from holding or obtaining an 0-licence for live years.
She directed that any future licence application involving Velma Hinckson, a director of a new company, be considered at a public inquiry.
When the application first came before the DTC last October, Graham Quigley, for the company, said Hinckson had spotted a business opportunity and invested £100,000 in R&H Haulage.
There was a condition on the interim licence that if Bragg was employed, it would be only as a driver or for vehicle maintenance. The DTC adjourned the matte and asked for production of mor evidence. One of the concerns wa that financial evidence offered wa for R&H Haulage, not Nationwidi (Proof needed before a decisioi is made', CM 6 November 2008).
In December, the business wa given another chance to produci the information. Refusing th, application and ordering th, interim authority to end, the DT( said nothing had been received.
