Steve Flynn and Flintstone Registrations

Meet The (Steve) Flynn Stones

Steve Flynn always wanted a personalised number plate, and searched for his perfect registration, F57 ONE, for about five years before he finally found it at Regtransfers. He has also been looking for W1 LMA for his wife Sharon, but to no avail – so far.

Steve has been in the granite and marble business for 27 years and, last year, finally set up his own company in Shefford, Bedfordshire. The company cuts, polishes and installs any kind of granite or marble surface to the highest specification. Steve installed the latest high precision cutting machine from Italy earlier this year in order to cope with demand, and to do all the work in-house.

Most of his business is fitting high-spec kitchen and bathroom worktops. With the contracts pouring in Steve has become a very busy man, but Sharon helps him with the business, despite working full-time at a Luton College. “I would have to work 27 hours a day if it wasn’t for Sharon”, he admits.

Steve had been thinking of buying F1 YNN when it became available, but he is more than happy with F57 ONE as his nickname is ‘Flintstone’, and far more relevant to him and his line of work.

“I thought it was an ideal plate to advertise my company, and it’s already attracting attention. From some of the conversations I have had about the number plate, I am sure this will lead to additional business, so it looks like my investment has become a great way of advertising”, says Steve with
a grin.

Last year Steve and Sharon moved to a north Bedfordshire village and the distinctive registration has helped to make him recognisable to his new neighbours.

“Getting F57 ONE has been just about the best thing I have ever treated myself to. Thank you, Regtransfers.”

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.

Regtransfers is not part of, and is not formally affiliated with DVLA.
