A BID FOR a new licence for three vehicles and three trailers by St Helens Commercials following the dissolution of a predecessor company has been turned down by the North-Western Traffic Commissioner Beverley Bell.
Company director John Swain and company secretary Janice Swain had held the same positions at JLS Carriers. The nominated transport manager for St Helens Commercials,Terence Smith, had been the transport manager of JLS Carriers and worked 40 hours a week as a driver for Wincanton.
The TC said JLS Carriers was dissolved in May 2006 yet the licence was renewed in August 2006.The payment was made by St Helens Commercials. She had revoked the JLS licence in December.
Tom Nash. general manager of St Helens Commercials, said that although he took a major part in the business he was not named as a director because he was in the process of being divorced and did not want to show the firm as an asset his wife could take into account. Barry Cadden, managing director of Allplant & Haulage, who had applied for a licence for 15 vehicles and four trailers, said he was there to support Swain as he was going to rent some space in Swain's yard.
He agreed he was a director of Castle Hill Transport, but did not know the firm had had a licence revoked in the South-Eastern area and that he had been disqualified from holding a licence because he was out of the country at the time.
The TC said the financial documents produced showed that St Helens Commercials was dishonouring cheques.
How could she grant a licence to a company that was dishonouring cheques, that wanted to employ a full-time driver as transport manager, that had another director who was not declaring that fact in an attempt to circumvent matrimonial proceedings, and which was supported by Cadden whose evidence raised more questions than it answered?
