yes. depending on what the offences are. normally any fraud, violence to others, any form of tax evasion, anything to with drugs, people trafficking, terrorist organisations, the list goes on

Was going to ask that very question … but thought I might get “shot down” 
… wonder just how naughty he’s been 
Gbh served 30 months inside which is the threshold…it was 9 years ago
i admire your honesty mate, i personally dont think you would have an issue but i,m no expert so hopefully someone can advise you better
I think the only way you will know for sure is to apply, be honest and give explanations on how you are a good boy now, you may be called before the commissioner but at least you will know but even better will have a chance to explain your side of your application.

As far as I can remember, you don’t have to declare convictions which are “spent” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, which yours would be. Check the guidance notes which come with the GV79 though, I’m sure it’s covered there.
you were a bit slow I knew someone who did time for gbh and took his transport managers national and international whilst in there.
A bloke who asked me to be his TM had his application for a Standard National Operators Licence turned down, as he had been in prison for GBH a few years before. It comes down to the ‘’ Good Repute’', that is required.
Well im going to put it in regardless
My conviction is not yet spent
Cheers for info lads ill keep you posted
If I was to take a guess, I’d say that it would probably be granted but that you’ll have to go stand on the TC’c carpet and lick a bit of bum first.
