• Crosskeys, Gwent-based Gerry Jones Transport Services has had its licence renewed for 30 vehicles at a Cardiff public inquiry, despite admitting the unauthorised use of four vehicles.
Director Gerald Jones told South Wales Licensing Authority John Mervyn Pugh that 75% of the company's work was for Colour Steels.
