Joan Aitkin, Scotland’s traffic commissioner, also ordered that M&J Ballantyne’s licence will be cut from five to three vehicles when it is reinstated on 1 September.
The regulator said the O licence is not “a piece of paper – it is commitment to meeting responsibilities to keep people and property safe and for fair competition”.
Director Michael Ballantyne made a false representation to the traffic commissioner, in May 2012, when he confirmed in writing that Glynn Hobkirk was the transport manager – when Hobkirk had ceased to have active responsibility as transport manager seven years previously.
The regulator said individuals who falsely sign documents and give false undertakings to a public protection regulator undermine road safety and fair competition.
