EM Rogers says it tries to prevent stowaways but was fined when a migrant was found on a lorry.
EM Rogers director Sarah Boyson said her company had been punished, despite going to great lengths to stop migrants entering lorries
Director Sarah Boyson said its drivers went "above and beyond" to secure their lorries and check for stowaways. She said the three migrants were discovered at the Port of Calais by sniffer dogs, despite a full check of the lorry being made by the driver. "Border Force, the Home Office - it's their full time job to stop migrants coming in yet us, as a transport company and individual drivers, are expected to stop the migrants when all these major authorities and government departments can't stop them - that's crazy.
But he said that if people did manage to get in to the lorries it could be difficult to detect them, despite thorough checks.
