Scooter/wheelchair registration
It has emerged recently that many Class 3 scooter/buggy users, and some Shopmobility schemes, are unaware that this type of vehicle must be registered with DVLA. A Form V55/5 is necessary, which requests details of the vehicle concerned, and this should be completed and sent to DVLA. They will issue a registration disc which should be displayed on the vehicle. There is no charge for this and there is currently no need to produce evidence of insurance.

BJK has arranged minibus insurance for nearly 25 years. Those of you who have been involved in the voluntary transport sector for any length of time will be aware that over the years there have been many insurance companies and brokers/agents who have appeared on the scene making all kinds of claims and promises to you and then disappeared. Has it ever occurred to you why?

July 2005
"Welcome to this, our first newsletter. I hope that you will find it interesting and of some value to you."
Whilst a newsletter is not exactly a new idea we have always recognised the importance of maintaining contact with you. We like to see as many of our clients as possible as this helps us to understand your needs better. We are very proud of the fact that many of our clients have worked with us for a long time, some for over two decades. As our client base grows it becomes increasingly difficult to see everyone as often as we would like and so this newsletter is at least one way to keep you up to date with what we are doing.
