SPEAKING at the official opening of his company's new £200,000 headquarters and transport depot at Grimsby last Friday, Mr. Geoffrey Hallam, managing director of the Humber Warehousing Group (an Associated Fisheries Ltd. subsidiary), hit out at the Minister of Transport's planned new Bill. He called it: "Bad for the road transport industry, bad for industry as a whole and bad for the country".
Mr. Hallam said his company would fight these proposals "to the bitter end". He referred in particular to the MoT proposal to compulsorily transfer traffic from road to rail in certain cases and to the suggestion that British Rail should have the right to object to road haulage licences "without having to provide proof of their ability to do the job better".
The new HQ and transport depot covers an 81-acre site on the estate. Maintenance and repair workshops are equipped with the latest machinery and facilities for full servicing of the Group's vehicles. There is also a modern office block and production unit for its coachbuilding company—Link Refrigeration Ltd.
Humber Warehousing operates a fleet of nearly 200 vehicles of all types and specializes in transportation of frozen foods in refrigerated and insulated containers.
