Fleet Desk, for parts and workshop supply
Find fleet changes near your branches and delivery routes.
Every vehicle on an operator licence must be kept fit and inspected at stated intervals, so a rise in authorised vehicles at a named site is a dated reason to check what that site is serviced by.
A licence change names the site and the figures, which is a dated reason to check the account.
Parts move when fleets grow, and fleets grow in public first. The application names the site and the number, weeks before the vehicles arrive and long before anyone changes supplier.
The Desk gives you those operators and sites the week the application publishes.
Which changes matter to you
Capacity expansion
More authorised vehicles is more inspection and more consumables somewhere, whether in the operator's own workshop or a contractor's.
Site expansion
A site the operator has not used before is a new delivery point worth checking against your trade counter and van routes.
Network change
Vehicles moving between sites moves where the servicing happens.
Licence transfer
A Schedule 4 stage changes which licence a site sits under, not what is serviced there.
A real example, read for parts and workshop supply
From Fleet Desk. Real, checked against Companies House, at least seven days old.
What changed. Altrad Services Limited applied to increase authorised vehicle capacity on licence OB2090086 from 4 to 14 vehicles, a rise of 10. The same application names 3 sites it has not used before, two at Middlesbrough and one at Scunthorpe. Published 2 September 2026, objections open until 23 September 2026.
Where. Middlesbrough, TS6 6LP, North East of England
Why it may matter. More authorised vehicles at a named site is more inspection and more consumables somewhere.
Check. Which of the three sites is nearest a branch, whether Altrad services in house or by contract, and the objection date of 23 September 2026.
Three things to check first
Which site is nearest a branch

In house or contracted out
It is the first question for the call.
What stage is it at

Common questions
Does it show who supplies them now?
No. Nothing in the licence record does, and the Desk never infers a supplier.
Does it show the vehicle makes?
No. Make, model and age are not in the record.
What area does it cover?
Goods-vehicle operators in England and Wales, across all seven traffic areas. Choose regional coverage around a location you pick, or the full England and Wales plan.
Can I use this for sales?
Yes. The Desk names companies, never people, and uses depot addresses only. Your own marketing rules still apply, and the Desk is built to make them easy.
What does it cost?
The 14-day trial is free and needs no card. Continuing is monthly by card, cancel any time. Regional coverage is £60 a month plus VAT, £72 in total and national £150 a month plus VAT, £180 in total, an introductory price, held for twelve months.
What happens when the trial ends?
Delivery stops on day fourteen and nothing is taken. Your trial page shows the price and a continue button throughout. If you continue before the end, the free days you have left are kept and the first charge date is shown before you pay.
