REGENT OIL CO. LTD.—which had 12 of
its tankers suspended for four months from March 1 as a penalty for collecting 123 GV9s (COMMERCIAL MOTOR, February 10)-110W has a team of four vehicle examiners who regularly inspect every unit of the company's commercial fleet.
They have "the same powers"—according to a Regent statement—as MoT vehicle examiners and use a similar method of reporting. They come under the control of the company's transport department in its central office. And they have the authority to issue company "prohibition orders".
The four examiners are: Mr. Leslie R. Neate, who has joined the company from the Reed Paper Group where he was depot engineer for the Aylesford depot. He covers South East England.
Mr. Douglas Proctor, who was promoted from maintenance operator at Regent's Cardiff Terminal. His area is South Wales and the West Country.
Mr. Harry van Duyvenbode, who was also promoted from maintenance operator at Regent's Liverpool terminal. He covers the Midlands and North West.
Mr. Alex F. Skivington, who has joined the company from Scottish Omnibuses Ltd., where he was a depot foreman. He covers Scotland, North East England and Northern Ireland.
