has closed after more than 25 years of operating. Woodham Bros (Haulage) Ltd, long-distance road haulier, which has traded from Barry Docks, closed at the end of November.
The drivers and fitting staff, some of whom had been employed for 20 years, were given three months' notice (in September) and awarded redundancy payments.
But at a sitting of the South Wales Licensing Authority, David Woodham, managing director of Woodham Bros Ltd, a subsidiary company, was granted permission to add two vehicles to his own licence.
Mr Woodham told the deputy LA, Ivor Pugh, that he was taking two of the vehicles into Woodham Bros Ltd. "Woodham Bros (Transport) Ltd, was formed just after the war," he said, "but I am now giving up that side of the business.
"The licence applied for now is for the carrying of my own goods in connection with the scrap metal side of the Company."
Mr Woodham told the LA the present garage would be vacated and put up for sale. The company had bought new premises on a seven-acre site at Barry Docks, and the workshop would be fitted with equipment from the present premises.
The licence was granted as applied for.
