• The directors of Taphaul, the Cowdenbeath haulier which went into liquidation last month, are denying any link between it and a new company operating from the same industrial estate.
Janice Malcolm, listed as a director for Taphaul, says that neither she nor her husband Thomas Malcolm are behind Malcolm Transport, a company which has recently advertised in the Dundee Courier as applying for an Operator's licence for 12 goods vehicles and 24 trailers.
When CMrang Taphaul's number the phone was answered as "Malcolm Transport" and the
reporter was passed to Janice Malcolm. She refused to comment on the liquidation and referred us to the liquidator KPMG. A spokesman for KPMG also refused to comment.
Malcolm then declined to tell us who was the director of Malcolm Transport. When we asked to speak to Thomas Malcolm she said he would say the same thing as her. It is thought that at least 20 drivers have lost their jobs following Taphaul's compulsory liquidation. The company was involved in supermarket distribution work.
