Garforth, W Yorks-based Whitkirk Produce won the title in September 2004: news of the intended prosecution broke soon after (CM 2 December 2004).
The trial, at Leeds Crown court. was expected to last four to six weeks. But on the first day the firm and one of its directors, Jane Grant. pleaded guilty to conspiracy to falsify tachograph charts.
Prosecuting, Mark Laprell said that the guilty pleas covered a period of time that included 62 of the 89 falsification charges specified in the indictment. The company and Grant admitted being aware of, and party to, the concealment and later destruction of up to 3,000 tachograph charts, leaving some 1.48 million kilometres unaccounted for. Only 287 tachograph records had been recovered.
