A BIRMINGHAM FIRM has been given interim authority after it dropped a proposal to employ a transport manager whose own licence had been revoked in March.
Hamit Cemal and Cemal Hamit, trading as HAC Transport, of Birmingham, had applied for a new national licence authorising one vehicle based at Nuneaton, Warwicksh ire.
The firm has now found a temporary transport manager through the agency Transconsult. West Midland Deputy Traffic Commissioner Lester Maddrell said the original proposed transport manager, James Morley, had been a director and transport manager of Chip Chop, whose licence had been revoked in March on financial grounds, Hamit Cemal said he had seen an advert from Transconsult and made contact. It had arranged for a Geoffrey Heath of Bromsgrove to act as transport manager. Cemal said he was taking a home CPC study course because he and Hamit did not want to pay someone else every month to act as their transport manager. They had to employ Transconsult for three months, as that was the minimum contract.
After the DTC had pointed out that the proposed operating centre was Morley's premises, Cemal said they had obtained a new operating centre, which they had advertised the previous week.
They were desperate to get a licence and needed an interim licence to start the business:The DTC granted interim authority until the objection period for the change of operating centre had expired.
