Memory anchors

Professional competence must be continuously and effectively supplied.
Restricted boundary
No nominated transport manager is required, but compliance responsibility remains.
Four pillars
Establishment, good repute, financial standing and professional competence.
Manager substance
Qualification alone is not continuous and effective management.
Checkpoint rule
