Division Announced
MR. S. SCHOFIELD is to be chairman of.the new division of the Traders Road Transport Association which has come into existence with the amalgamation of the former North-Western and Merseyside and North Wales divisions. His election took place last week at the first meeting of the new divisional committee. It was agreed that the chairmanship should alternate between Manchester and Liverpool.
Mr. Schofield is traffic manager of N. Kilvert and Sons, Ltd., of Manchester.
The main purpose of the change in organization is to make available to members in the two divisions a stronger and better administration than either could achieve alone. Mr. G. Gregory, formerly secretary-organizer of the NorthWestern division, has taken over the same position in the new organization and, by virtue of the revised staffing arrangements, is able to devote more time to outside work for the division.
The divisional office in Manchester will be manned under the supervision of Mr. N. Smith, formerly secretary of the Merseyside and North Wales division, who becomes assistant secretary of the new combined division. Special care has been taken to ensure that individual and personal service to members in the Merseyside and North Wales areas is not adversely affected.
Merseyside and North Wales will continue to function as an area of the new division, with its own committee meeting in Liverpool and responsible for its own local policy and affairs. Equally the previous North-Western division will now function as an area of the amalgamated division, with its own area committee. Both areas are represented on the new divisional committee, which will meet alternately in Liverpool and Manchester.
