If the notice is addressed to you, then Gemini are pursuing you
and you can therefore appeal.

Received this today, from what I understand appealing as a
Keeper is valid and the driver doesn't have to be the one to
appeal?

It’s a fishing exercise, lots of them do it to try to persuade
you to identify the driver.
You appealed as hirer in the face of non-compliance with PoFA
2012, didn’t you?
You can ignore this, they will then reject your valid appeal,
allow you to get the IAS to do the same, but would lose in
court.

I did indeed appeal with PoFA 2012, worth just sending the same
appeal again to speed it up?
I'll have to go court in the end I assume if they chase it past
IAS? I'm fine with that, they'd lose on PoFA 2012 alone.

Personally, I’d ignore, and definitely wouldn’t send the same
appeal again. Now they will lie to hope you will cave in and
pay. The IAS will cost them £23 even if they do the usual and
side with the operator. Then useless debt recovery letters from
DCBL (ignore) and equally useless bulk litigator DCB Legal (come
back when you get their Letter of Claim). Search the forum to
see more about DCB Legal. They initiate the court process but
discontinue before having to pay the fee if it’s properly
defended which it will be. Their tactics are to scare you into
paying up or getting a judgement in default if you ignore.

If this ever went to litigation, I'll eat my hat. Gemini are
owned by APCOA and APCOA do NOT litigate. Just go through the
motions and after the inevitable IAS rejection, you can safely
ignore all debt recovery letters. Debt collectors are powerless
to do anything except to try and intimidate the low-hanging
fruit on the gullible tree into paying ut of ignorance and fear.
Eventually they will give up.
If you want to understand why APCOA don't bother wasting their
time and money with litigation, have a read of this thread which
shows how much they make from the 'Gullibles' who pay up anyway:
FYI, FoI request for data on Penalty Notices issued by APCOA on
Southwestern Railway car parks
