East Midland Newcomer Gets Six Bulkers A N application for a new nine-vehicle B licence was part granted to William H. D. Cullen, trading as Bulk Powders (Midlands) Ltd., of Weekday Cross, Nottingham. Cullen was granted six tanker-tippers and is to start his own haulage business, operating within 150 miles of Nottingham. He gave an undertaking to the East Midland deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. A. Ellis, not to try and win trade from his former employers, K and M (Hauliers) Ltd., of Bulwell, Nottingham.
Objectors at the start of the hearing were British Railways, British Road Services and seven private road haulage • firms, including K and M.
Mr. R, Seely Whitby, for the applicant, said he wished to delete the word " flats " which had appeared in the published application. Mr. Cullen was applying for nine " pressurized tipper-tankers ".
British Railways and FIRS then said they would not call witnesses and Mr. Seely Whitby said that of the other objectors, only K and M were doing the work which Mr. Cullen was intending to do.
Mr. Cullen, who has been in managerial positions in the haulage business for more than 20 years, said he had taken an option on one and a quarter acres of ground on Colwick Trading Estate, Nottingham.
The articulated vehicles would cost about 19,000 each, he said, and would carry loads up to 18 tons. Mr. Cullen produced letters from six firms saying they had difficulty in satisfying their needs for this type of vehicle. Representatives of three other firms gave evidence that there was a year-by-year increase in the number of customers requiring bulk deliveries. Mr. Cullen planned to carry flour, grain, cement, fly ash, industrial sand, lime and pulverized coal.
The transport manager of K and M said the company's fleet, which numbered seven on Mr. Cullen's departure Iasi November, was fully employed. They had been granted unopposed licences feu two more and were applying for a furthel two to meet increased demand.
For K and M, Mr. Anthony Bothers pointed out that six of the eight supporting companies already had dealings win K and M.
The deputy LA commented that it wa "an interesting and important applica. tion ". In essence, K and M were the only objectors, be said, and there wai "clearly evidence justifying a substantial grant ".
