Public Inquiry Representation & More

Your Complete DVSA Compliance Solution

Worried about Public Inquiries, MIVR visits, or Desk-based assessments?

Here's how we support you:

  • Public Inquiry representation**: Facing a Public Inquiry?  Public inquiry representation is available, but proactive compliance is truly the key to avoiding the stress and potential repercussions. The best way to attend a PI is to permanently fix the compliance issues within your organisation before attending and have evidence of your recovery.

  • MIVR/TIVR visit preparation: Don't wing it! Our specialists prepare you for DVSA's Maintenance Investigations and Technical Interviews, maximising your chances of a positive outcome. We can also support you with a post-visit reply and recovery plan.

  • Desk-based assessment support: Navigating these assessments can be tricky. We guide you through the process, ensuring your documentation is complete and compliant.

Every client receives a bespoke service tailored to their specific needs. Unlike other generic consultancies, we get to know your business and provide targeted solutions. 

Ready to achieve and maintain DVSA compliance with confidence? Contact us today for a free consultation and discuss how we can help.

** We can only represent you at a Public Inquiry (PI) if authorised by the relevant Traffic Commissioner. This authorisation depends on our qualifications, experience, and any prior relationship with you as the operator, ensuring that we have the appropriate expertise to support you effectively during the inquiry.

Frequently Asked questions

FAQs

If you have any other questions please contact us.

Can someone look after all aspects of the O' Licence undertaking on my behalf?

Yes! we can bear in mind that the Operator Licence undertakings are firstly the responsibility of the operator, although we can support ensuring good levels of compliance, the buck stops with the O' Licence holder.

My business has a restricted licence, do I need a Transport Manager (TMCPC)?

No! there is no obligation to have a formal transport manager, although as the operator licence holder, the undertaking required under the law is still relevant, hence someone needs to have the ultimate responsibility, most of which can be delegated.

Can you help with dealing with the Office of the Traffic Commissioner?

Yes! we can. You might have been served a PG9 or a PG13 perhaps. You could have received an ‘S’ marked prohibition notice, an instant red OCRS, asked to complete a DBAQ or have been asked to attend a Public Inquiry! We can support you with all these eventualities.

Can you support me in applying for a new O' Licence or making changes to it?

Yes! we can. As is the case with dealing with any regulatory bodies, ensuring that the correct paperwork, procedures and timescales are applied saves time and money in the long term. Get us involved as early as possible.

I need help with understanding the Tachograph data, can you help?

Yes! we can. We can help in 3 simple ways.

  • help train all the individuals

  • offer remote management of tachograph compliance, ensuring that any issues are quickly flagged and fixed.

  • offer Advanced Tachograph Analysis & reporting

I don't know where to start, what should I do?

You can do three things:

  • Find out what's wrong, our audits will help in identifying the gaps.

  • Train yourself and all relevant staff, our bespoke training can help.

  • Have systems in place that monitor and flag any issues, we can do this remotely.

The Senior Consultants @the FTC

With many years of industry experience, having supported hundreds of businesses with practical solutions, our experts leave no stone unturned in ensuring that they find the best solutions that work for your business environment, culture and systems.

André Renner 

"Good Communication is vital"

Having worked in the compliance sector for over 17 years I have a wealth of experience in not only general compliance but also advanced compliance. My role is primarily as a solution finder. I am in a unique position to be able to advise on not only what an operator will need to do to be compliant but also to find creative, cost and time-efficient solutions. My legislative experience is complimented by my technical expertise in finding effective solutions. Having been involved from the very start in the development of Tachomaster, I have been able to understand what issues can occur and, more importantly, what solutions there are. My experience is in both the technical and legislative.

My roles have been in sales, finding solutions, training large and small groups or individuals, 3rd line support, and product development.

"Success lies in routines"

With over 30 years of experience as a Senior General Manager in the retail sector and more than 7 years specialising in HGV/PSV operator compliance, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our team. My extensive career has provided me with a deep understanding of both operational and regulatory landscapes.

In the compliance field, I have served as a Compliance Operations Manager, where I managed operator licence compliance and navigated complex regulations, including HR/ER, HMRC, GDPR, and FCA/CMA.

I am a qualified CPC Transport Manager, committed to continuous professional development, completing a minimum of 50 hours annually. I also hold qualifications as an ISO 9001 Lead Auditor and have undergone awareness training in ISO 27001.

Throughout my auditing career, I have conducted numerous compliance audits for operators, supported them during Public Inquiries, and assisted with Desk-Based Assessments, Maintenance Investigation Visits (MIVRs), and Traffic Examiner Visits (TEVRs).

If you want a no-nonsense, straight-talking compliance advisor in your corner, I'm the man for the job. My extensive experience and dedication ensure that our clients receive the highest level of compliance support and guidance.
