would fold after the bad publicity surrounding its licence suspension (CM 11-17 Dec 1997); it has made a new application for a 10-vehicle/10-trailer licence in Essex.
This application has been granted, despite CM having reported that the company operated while suspended. Canin's original licence is also back in force, though it is scheduled to go before the Licence Review Board. This follows speculation that Canin would disappear and "rise from the ashes" as Ottoman International Transport, a company with links to Canin. Both the South-Eastern and Eastern Traffic Area Offices have received applications to vary licences belonging to Ottoman International Transport from one vehicle and one trailer to five vehicles and five trailers. Both applications have attracted objections.
