ADR
Don't face a Public Inquiry alone – our expert representation maximises your chances of a successful outcome and safeguards your Operator Licence.
A Public Inquiry (PI) can threaten the very existence of your business, leading to licence revocation, suspension, or severe penalties. It's a high-stakes proceeding where expert preparation and representation are not just beneficial, but critical.
Turn a daunting Desk-Based Assessment into a seamless process with our expert support, significantly reducing your risk of a Public Inquiry.
The DVSA's Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) is a critical initial review of your compliance. A poor showing here can quickly escalate to a full investigation or even a Public Inquiry. Our support ensures your documentation is impeccable and your responses are robust, proving your commitment to compliance.
Prepare confidently for DVSA Maintenance (MIVR) and Traffic Examiner (TEVR) visits, demonstrating full compliance and protecting your licence from potential action.
DVSA roadside stops or targeted visits (MIVR for maintenance, TEVR for drivers' hours/licensing) can easily uncover non-compliance issues. A negative report can trigger further investigations, OCRS score degradation, and critically, lead directly to a Public Inquiry. Our preparation minimises your risk.
Gain peace of mind and identify compliance gaps before they become costly problems with our comprehensive Operator Compliance Audits.
Whether it's a Traffic Commissioner requirement, a proactive step by a responsible operator, or a necessity for a new Transport Manager, a thorough compliance audit is your best defence. It uncovers weaknesses before the DVSA does, safeguarding your OCRS score and preventing a PI.
Take control of your fleet with absolute confidence. Our expert support guarantees adherence to all DVSA regulations, covering both Standard and Restricted Operator Licences.
Stay Ahead: Our specialists expertly navigate complex regulations, ensuring your vehicles consistently meet all legal requirements.

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.
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.
