Dean Headley with new plate M12 DML

Dean Headley

Recently retired, Kent and England fast bowler Dean Headley is already making a comeback - in a new business venture. After being forced to bow out of cricket on medical grounds just a few weeks ago, Dean has already set up his own Design and Print Company, called 'IDP'. Dean brings the new business under the umbrella of his existing company 'DML' (Deano Management Ltd), which is now a representative of IDP (also of Walker Logistics).

Based at private premises in Canterbury, Dean's role as Director of DML is to promote the newly formed IDP and generate business.

With this task in mind, he decided to search for a personalised number plate on the Registration Transfers website,
www.regtransfers.co.uk

Although always interested in having a personalised number plate, Dean says it "goes against his personality" to have a mark spelling his name. He wanted something much more subtle; a plate to advertise his parent company so that only people close to him or people who know of DML would recognise it.

Dean was particularly taken with the 'M12' (Mr) numbers and was delighted when he found M12 DML (Mr DML). He said,

"I think Mr DML is a good plate to have. I am very pleased with it. It will help me to get the company name known".

The Marketing Manager at Registration Transfers, Len Stout, commented:

"The 'MR' number plates are very popular with customers who are looking for something a bit different, in particular, Managing Directors' who are keen to personalise their vehicles. They tend to add either the company's initials or their own initials after 'MR'."

Dean has also bought G8 DML (GB DML) to complement his mister plate. Staff at Registration Transfers in Dunstable were keen to find him the perfect match. Dean said it was "fantastic" when informed that a 'Great Britain' number was found with 'DML'. But will he make it a hat trick, they wonder!

The role of DVLA

Car registrations and number plates, including personalised number plates, in the UK, are the responsibility of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, usually known as the DVLA. It issues new registrations twice a year and also maintains the central database that records details of all vehicles licensed to drive on UK roads, along with their keeper and registration information.

Regtransfers works closely with DVLA to complete registration transfers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Regtransfers is a DVLA-registered supplier of personal car registrations and number plates and is listed on the DVLA Registrations website. All number plates supplied by Regtransfers comply with DVLA's prescribed standards and regulations.

DVLA administers all UK registration transfers and issues updated registration documents when the registration number of a car is changed, or when a registration is removed from a vehicle and placed on a retention document in accordance with the DVLA Retention Scheme.

DVLA is a registered trade mark of the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency. Regtransfers is not affiliated with the DVLA or DVLA Personalised Registrations. Regtransfers is a recognised reseller of unissued Government stock.

Number plate regulations

When a car is on the road, it is an offence to display number plates bearing any number other than the vehicle's officially recorded registration number. If you purchase a private registration, learn how to transfer private plates before displaying the new number.

All registration number plates displayed on UK vehicles must comply with the official number plate regulations. DVLA oversees enforcement of number plates display regulations and maintains a register of approved manufacturers and retailers of vehicle number plates.
