Concerns about the company directors' repute leads to a refusal of their licence application. Mike Jewell reports.
TWO COMPANY DIRECTORS have been refused a licence for a new company emerging from the ashes of their previous operation.
Trinity North (UK), was formed by Dudleybased David and Clarisa Jewkes, following the liquidation of Jewkes Transport. However. the licence bid was blocked on the grounds of repute by West Midland Deputy Traffic Commissioner Alan Bourlet.
Claims Trinity had sought a new international licence for three vehicles and four trailers (CM 4 September). Claim and counter-claim over who had been operating two vehicles following the liquidation of Jewkes Transport resulted in the DTC revoking the licence held by Jewkes associate. Brierley Hill-based owner-driver David Edmunds, and disqualifying him from holding a licence for two years. The DTC decided to take no action against the licence held by other Jewkes associates, Kidderminster-based Michael and Josephine Buckley, trading as Buckley'sTiansport.
The DTC said that in January, a vehicle driven by Edmunds had been stopped at Strensham Services. Edmunds had said he was employed by Jewkes Transport and was using the vehicle on its behalf. The trailer, which belonged to Jewkes Transport, had a defective tyre. When it was presented at the testing station for clearance of the original prohibition, four more items were added to the prohibition list, as well as the original defect, which apparently remained outstanding.
There was considerable evidence against Edmund's ability to run a standard international licence properly.
In April, a vehicle owned and operated by Trinity North (UK) was stopped at the Dartford Tunnel. Shayne Jewkes admitted he believed it acceptable for him to use that vehicle on Buckley's operator's licence, Buckley being a part-time employee at Trinity North. Shayne Jewkes also stated he was in possession of the EU authorisation for the vehicle, although it was impossible to say how he came by that document. It appeared his company was prepared to use that document if challenged en route to the Continent, and that affected the repute of the company as well as the good repute and professional competence of the noi transport manager, Shayne Jewkes.
Buckley denied giving his agreemei vehicle being used on his licence, anc North (UK) did not have an inten operator's licence to operate that vehi DTC found against its repute accordin was more inclined to believe the evid Buckley than of Shayne Jewkes Concern The recurring aspect of the case wh: caused the DTC concern was the taxi the vehicles involved, most of which ar to have been private.The taxation rate f des of the size and weight concerned w £1,850 a year, as opposed to f165 for a light goods vehicle VED. David Jewl claimed to suffer from poor eyesight, that he had forgotten his spectacles w went to tax one of the vehicles.
However, he was unable to explai he had overlooked the other four v which had been taxed at the private i the Jewkes Transport licence, one of was taxed at that rate for five years, bef company went into liquidation. The co had actually applied for a rebate of the rate fee when they sold the vehicle, s must have noticed the differential cost time. The DTC concluded these matter intentional, and told against the repute directors of Trinity North (UK). •
