120 hauliers in the West Midlands. Known as West Midlands Tipper Movements Ltd., the group is awaiting the completion of company registration which will be finalized this month.
A working party was set up by the tipping functional group of the RHA West Midland area, under the chairmanship of Mr. N. Cartwright, a director of P. H. Cartwright and Sons Ltd., Stourbridge. Mr. Cartwright told COMMERCIAL MOTOR, that as soon as the company has been formed, a meeting will be held to appoint directors who, in turn, will be responsible for selecting a manager and what other staff is required.
The group will be entirely self-supporting and will not rely on using the premises or facilities of member firms. It hopes to rent an office in the Wolverhampton/Birmingham area. The 120 or so subscribers will acquire shareholdings of £50 each in the company and commission will be charged on the work passed to the members.
The group's activity is aimed at offering a better service to industry and to ensuring that existing licensed facilities are fully utilized. The group will collectively study new licence applications with a view to individual members objecting where it is felt excess of transport might be authorized.
