FOUR short-term vehicles of Bulk Liquid Transport, Ltd., for use on Continental bulk liquid traffic, were placed on full licence by the Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority in Leeds last Friday. The application, in one form or another, has gone on for almost three years, the Authority was reminded, but shortly before the grant was announced the company's general manager had said that "serious consideration" was being given to whether a further application should be put in.
Answering Mr. Alan Goss, for the applicants, Mr. G. Maxwell Holmes, "general manager of Bulk Liquid since last November, repeated the undertaking previously given that the vehicles would be used for carrying goods only to and from ports in connection with Continental traffic. Producing a schedule giving details requested by the Authority at the previous hearing a year ago, in respect of the four short-term and 19 special A or ordinary A-licensed vehicles (one of which had been suspended from March -to July, 1960, by the North Western Licensing Authority), Mr. Holmes said that the business could not be carried on with fewer vehicles. Only six of the ordinary fleet were suitable for Continental traffic. The state of the business was healthy and expanding. Serious consideration. was
being given to the question whether a further application should be put in.
Cross-examined by Mr. A. W. Balne, for British Road Services (objections of A. S. Jones and Co., Ltd., and Harold Wood, Ltd., having been withdrawn), Mr. Holmes agreed that nothing had been done to correct the figures put in 12 months ago. No attempt could be made to account for matters then pointed out as being obvious omissions.
He agreed there had been a substantial growth in the Continental work, which represented about live-ninths of total revenue. If the present trend continued, he agreed, this would change the emphasis in the normal user of the A-licence fleet. The company were moving more towards Continental carrying than they were to inland carrying.
GRIFFIN FOR CONTRACTS ONLY
was announced this week that Griffin I Bros. (Highbury), Ltd., a subsidiary of A. Packham and Co., Ltd., has ceased -to operate as a London parcels service. The company now specializes only in contract hire, said Mr. A. Packham, managing director of the Packham group.
All parcels work, which until now has been operated by Griffin Bros., will in future be carried by the Packham concern, he added.
