Decision
I direct that the operator licences of RM Group Hull Ltd, RM Leisure Homes Ltd, GHD Transport Ltd, Terence Hebden and SRSS (Hull) Ltd are revoked. There is a compelling need for an immediate and total cessation of activity, before lives may be lost or more harm is done. It needs to happen before any further corporate strategies or manoeuvres are attempted to defeat the effect of these decisions. Any linked Community Licences must be marked ‘withdrawn’.
RM Group Hull Ltd, RM Leisure Homes Ltd, GHD Transport Ltd, Terence Hebden, and SRSS (Hull) Ltd are indefinitely disqualified from holding or obtaining an operator’s licence in all traffic areas.
Michael Dudley Holgate, Fay Andrew, Graham Dudley Holgate, and David Steven Radford, are also indefinitely disqualified from holding or obtaining an operator’s licence in all traffic areas.
I direct that if, at any time whilst disqualified, Michael Dudley Holgate, Fay Andrew, Graham Dudley Holgate, Terence Hebden or David Steven Radford:
(a) is a director of, or holds a controlling interest in:
(i) a company which holds an operator’s licence issued under the Act in any traffic area, or
(ii) a company of which such a company is a subsidiary, or
(b) operates any goods vehicles in partnership with a person who holds such a licence,
- then that licence of that company or, as the case may be, of that person, shall be liable to revocation, suspension or curtailment under Section 26 of the Act
Michael Dudley Holgate, Graham Dudley Holgate, Terence Hebden and David Steven Radford are no longer of good repute as transport managers and I direct that they each be disqualified indefinitely from acting as a transport manager in any traffic area.
I direct that the HGV driving entitlement of Graham Dudley Holgate is again revoked and, again, he is disqualified from holding such an entitlement for 40 weeks. At the end of the disqualification Graham Holgate may apply for the return of his vocational entitlement. There is no guarantee he will get it. Until he applies and until it is returned, Graham Holgate has no vocational driving entitlement permitting him to drive any HGV, and he must not do so.
All of the above directions will come into effect at 23:59 hours on Friday 16th August 2019.
I take no action in respect of Peter Lance Tod or Wayne Smith Holm.
