• Congleton, Cheshire-based Copycatch, trading as CVH Haulage, has been granted a licence although it admitted using unauthorised vehicles.
The company wanted a new national licence for two vehicles and one trailer and appeared before North Western Licensing AuthorityNlartin Albu.
Company secretary Malcolm Roach said Copycatch acquired the business of CVH Services in July last year, Helen Lancaster was the CPC holder.
There was another director, a Mr Bailey, who had been involved with Foster Distribution Ltd and CVH Services Ltd, both of which had gone into liquidation.
The company's Albu: unau vehicles were use of vehi obtained four months common m
before the licence was applied for, and six months before interim authority was granted.
Roach said that the licence was applied for in July 1993 because of CVH Services' financial difficulties. Copycatch was involved in the storage and packaging industry and CVH was one of its sub-contractors. After the demise of CVH Services, Copycatch acquired the business and offered Bailey a job. Mrs Lancaster mistakenly thought that once a licence was applied for, vehicles could be operated. After the demise of CVH Services, Copycatch formally took over the operation of the vehicles. Albu said this was not an unusual error, and he did not feel it was sufficient reason to find that Mrs Lancaster was not of good repute. thorised des "a istake".
