From my base in Keith, Moray, I provide a variety of services to all HGV and PSV operators, solicitors and related organisations throughout Scotland and the UK. My background is twenty years with the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) including fifteen as a Traffic Examiner and I hold a CPC in National Haulage.

I offer a confidential, personal and focused service highly relevant to the operator, assisting with a view to overall compliance and potential cost savings and can provide the following;

  • Assistance with changes to an operator licence including environmental advice on operating centres, adding or removing vehicles, changes of legal entity and CPC management.
  • For a low monthly fee I will be available for unlimited advice by phone and keep you up to date with changes in legislation or policy by regular newsletter.
