Questions

Where does the data come from?

The Traffic Commissioners' Applications and Decisions publications on GOV.UK, used under the Open Government Licence.

Are these licences granted?

No. They are new applications, which is the point: these firms are still setting up and choosing suppliers.

Do you include contact details?

Where the business publishes a phone, email or website, yes. Brand-new firms often have none yet, so each lead also shows the best way to reach them.

Is it OK to contact them?

We list limited companies only, with no personal names. If you phone, check numbers against the Corporate Telephone Preference Service first.

Are the leads exclusive?

No. If you want to get ahead, ask us about hearing about each new operator the day it is published.

How do I cancel?

Any time, from the link at the bottom of every delivery email, or just reply and ask.
