VARIATIONS TO YOUR

OPERATORS LICENCE 

The following require a formal application made to the Traffic Area Office backed up by a public notice in your local press in some cases : 

• Addition or change of your operating centre

• An increase in your authorised number of vehicles 

• Operator licence in a new Traffic Area

• Increase the number of vehicles at an operating centre

• Change in the type of your licence

• Adding or changing your transport manager 

• Change from a sole trader to partnership or limited company

Other changes do not require a formal application but you must write to the Traffic Area Office :

• Adding or removing specified vehicles

• Change in the directors of a company or partners of a partnership

• Change of your corespondence address

• You change your maintenance / PMI arrangements

• Your business becomes insolvent (whether or not you intend to keep trading)

• You stop using an operating centre  

As with an application for a new licence, you could decide  to handle these matters yourself.  However, sometimes the matters are complex or complications arise during the process.  It can therefore be much more cost effective to engage us to help you through from the start.

Delays and failed applications cost money and lost business.  They could also mean that you are operating illegally if the correct applications are not made or granted on time.
