opposed at Aberdeen last week a proposal by Unilever, Ltd., that two of five vehicles used for the carriage of Unilever goods in the north-cast of Scotland should be licensed to perform customer work.
Mr. T. H. Campbell Wardlaw, for Unilever, said he sympathized with the fears of local hauliers that this giant undertaking, with its vast financial resources, might be seeking to break into the transport world. He assured them that this was not the intention.
Mr. Martin Brown, manager and director of S.P.D., Ltd., the warehousing and distribution organization of Unilever, explained that Unilever products were stored at a new warehouse at Quarry Road, Northfield, Aberdeen, and distribution throughout the north-east of Scotland was carried out from there.
In addition, S.P.D. gave warehouse and distribution facilities to Kimberley Clark (paper tissue and sanitary products), Robertson. the Paisley jam manufacturers, and the Ministry of Health in respect of welfare foods. It was for the transport of these commodities that a public carrier's licence was required.
Mr. Ivo Townsend, the Scottish Deputy Licensing Authority, asked if there was any guarantee that S.P.D. might not undertake the distribution of goods for 33 instead of only three firms, to which Mr. Brown replied that the Unilever policy was to limit third-party customer work to 10 per cent, of the total turnover.
Mr. Townsend granted a B licence for two vehicles, limited to the conveyance of goods from the Aberdeen depot and for the three customers named.
