THE transport manager of a Bristol haulage company was on Monday granted a B licence for his own vehicle so that he could hire it out to his employers. The Licensing Authority, Mr. S. W. Nelson, said Mr. J. M. Hillier, of Horfield. Bristol, 7, had not made out a case for general goods, but he would be granted building materials and aircraft components within a 15-mile radius.
Mr. Stanley Honeyfield, managing director of S. J. Honeyfield, Ltd., said Mr. Hillier was his transport manager, but with his own family growing up there might come a time when Mr. Hillier would have to go. As the company hired eight to 10 vehicles a day he supported the application, as Mr. Hillier would be able to retain his post with the concern and hire the vehicle to Honeyfield's.
Cross-examined by Mr. L. Pratley, for the objectors, British Railways and British Road Services, Mr. Honeyfield denied that he was trying to get an additional vehicle without producing his own figures.
Mr. Honeyfield said that his company had 16 contract-A licence vehicles, five on A-licence, one special A and eight on B licence.
