We are a well-established local taxi business based in West Cumbria, participating in various private hire activities. For nearly a decade, we have partnered with large factories and companies, held council contracts, and provided airport transfer services. Our fleet includes minibuses accommodating up to eight passengers, as well as cars owned by both the company and owner-drivers operating on a percentage basis.
This thriving business has been operational for nine years, and the current owner has been at the helm for the same duration. Our company stands as the largest taxi service in the region, benefiting from a steadily growing demand for local hires and averaging around 500 airport transfers annually. This impressive activity is complemented by our multiple council contracts, solidifying our reputation in the area.
Competitive Edge and Offerings
The business offers more than just transport; it comes with a variety of valuable assets. The lease unit, priced at £609 per month, includes two office spaces, a fully operational manned car wash equipped with both heated industrial and cold pressure washers, as well as a two-post car lift and various tools. While turnover has decreased slightly this year due to a downsizing of the fleet for personal reasons, the business retains significant potential for expansion and growth.
The decision to sell stems from the owner's desire to pursue a new career path. Presently, the business employs eleven dedicated staff members, all of whom are licensed and DBS approved, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Online Presence and Training Opportunities
Our business maintains a robust online presence, with over 4,000 followers on Facebook and a bespoke website that enhances our visibility in the local market. We are committed to assisting the new owner during the transition, providing guidance on acquiring their own operator's license with the council and ensuring a seamless takeover of school contracts. Additionally, hands-on training can be offered to help navigate the operations effectively.
