Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Eddie Stobart's move into the waste paper sector (CM 17 March).

Stephen Walker, who runs Beoley-based S Walker Transport, says he has already lost work to Stobart: "It seems to have taken most of our work out of the country. Its involvement in the sector frightens people in our industry. All the trailers are pulled by Belgian-registered trucks so it's very hard to compete.

"There's no law against what it's doing but I think it could damage the sector with the rates being quoted. It's annoying to see Stobart come straight in when we've built this business up from just one vehicle 15 years ago."

• Walker has added two new Legras walking-floor trailers with Moffett Mounty forklifts to its fleet for its contract with Matalan and SCA Recycling.
