A man disqualified from being a company director three years ago has lost his Operator's Licence and has been banned from obtaining one until 21 June next year.
Epping-based Richard Bryan, who held a four-vehicle licence in his own name, was called before the South Eastern & Metropolitan Traffic Commissioner Christopher Heaps, The licence had been granted in 1997 by the then IC Brigadier Michael Turner. He had been concerned about Bryan's involvement with Brymac Contractors, whose licence had been revoked and whose sole director had been disqualified. The IC found that he had been involved in the running of Brymac. but not as a director and granted the licence.
In December 20(11 IC Heaps refused a licence application by Brymac (London) when Bryan appeared for that company. The IC had considered Bryan's links with the company and its admitted unauthorised use of vehicles since 1997.
Heaps said he had a copy of a statement signed by Bryan which included admissions that although not formally appointed as a director Bryan had acted as such; that he was unfit to be concerned in the management of a company; that he had caused Brymac to trade to the detriment of creditors, in particular the Crown authorities: and that he had financed Brymac's trading by the retention of Crown monies and failed to deal properly with Crown departments.
However, Bryan claimed that he had not agreed to the statement, which was signed by solicitors on his behalf. He also denied any involvement with Brymac before July 1996 and said he had no part in the unauthorised operation of vehicles.
Making the revocation and disqualification orders, the IC said that from prohibitions incurred by Brymac between February and October 1996. it was clear that Brymac was operating vehicles when Bryan was a de facto director.
In view of a court order that Turner knew nothing about when the licence was granted, and Bryan's admissions, he was unfit to hold a licence.
