Testimonials

Consultancy comments – following an independent audit for a Public Inquiry

Alan,

Many thanks for sending this over which is really helpful – and very impressive! We had a call with the client on Friday, and they are working through your report in advance of the PI hearing. They are very grateful for your help, and I will let you know how they get on at the hearing.

Solicitor’s Comments – following an independent audit

Having read this report (like you) I am of the view that the licence application will be determined at a PI hearing. The maintenance is bad, and they were give a chance at the PI hearing when I represented them, and they have not taken advantage of it. They are in a sticky situation!

Also, like you, I question what the Transport Consultant is doing. The client appears to be wasting their money with name redacted , and I think the first thing to do is get rid of name redacted and get someone else in. I have someone in mind. Once I receive your reply, I can contact the client and have a call with redacted and decide what to do.

As always, very many thanks for your speed and excellent assistance.

Transport Compliance Audit Reports (Tipper Operator)

Hi Alan,

redacted and I found it to be a very constructive meeting. Regardless of what it led to, its been really beneficial to us. So thank you.

I’m working through the reports and starting to put the letter to the TC together today, ready for it to be sent on Monday.

Coincidentally I had already suggest to redacted that another audit was a likely outcome which is in line with what you stated. Considering the circumstances and the importance of ensuring compliant operators, that makes sense to me. We’d be happy to come back to you should that be the case.

We’ll be in touch.

Consultancy comments from their client – following an independent audit

Client said it was a worthwhile exercise and whilst it costs more it was definitely worth it and they were very appreciative of Alan’s input.
