Affect on Operator Licence following change of business entity

"My business has now changed to a limited company. Am I still able to operate vehicles using my old licence which is in my own name?" 

No, whenever there is a change to the business name or entity the operator licence must change to reflex this. It is against the law for an individual to continue using a previous Licence.

I regularly assist Operators with this dilemma and make changes to ensure legal vehicle operation is occurring. The impact of not getting it right can be significant and tough penalties can be imposed by the criminal courts and the Traffic Commissioner.
