Coventry-based Sean McKenna
• COVENTRY-BASED Sean McKenna has been granted a new international licence for 18 vehicles and 16 trailers, by West Midland LA John Mervyn Pugh, after a mix-up over vehicle registration had been sorted out.
For McKenna, Michael Carless said he had been in the haulage business for 25 years, mostly in Northern Ireland McKenna specialised in carrying excavated and quarry materials and had been operating from Coventry for seven months. He was last before the LA in November. The main concern then had been the vehicle registration documents and doubts whether McKenna owned the vehicles. The problem was that the vehicles had been taxed by the suppliers, said Carless. Most of the vehicles, 15 of which were F-registered, were now registered in McKenna's name.
All the vehicles were leased, but were painted in McKenna's colours.
After the LA had said that he had asked for the application to be readvertised on the last occasion, Carless indicated that that had been done.
Granting the licence, LA Mervyn Pugh said McKenna deserved it. Everything now seemed to be in order and McKenna had done everything that he had been asked to do.
