Merseyside private hire operator, Britannia Taxis, has joined forces with Veezu.
The acquisition aims to open new horizons for Britannia, with hopes of elevating the private hire experience for its drivers and their passengers.
Launched in 2013, Veezu has a history of growing its national footprint. The firm has continued to invest heavily in data, technology and infrastructure to ensure that regional private hire operators like Britannia Taxis remain ingrained within their communities.
Jimmy Aden, Managing Director of Britannia Taxis, expressed his enthusiasm, saying: "From our humble beginnings as a family-run enterprise, Britannia Taxis has flourished into a company with access to an impressive fleet of more than 500 skilled driver-partners across Merseyside and Greater Manchester. We take immense pride in helping the movement of people within our communities.
"We are tremendously excited about joining Veezu and the future of Britannia Taxis. I have utmost confidence in joining forces with a larger enterprise that prioritises local interests and invests in improving the driver-partner experience."
Nathan Bowles, CEO of Veezu, warmly welcomed the addition of Jimmy Aden and Britannia Taxis to the Veezu Group: "I extend a heartfelt welcome to Jimmy and the entire Britannia Taxis team as they join forces with Veezu. Britannia Taxis has earned a well-deserved reputation for excellence in Merseyside and Greater Manchester.
"Our appetite for growth shows no signs of wavering. Britannia Taxis follows the successful acquisition of City Taxis in Sheffield in March of this year, both which complement our coverage in West Yorkshire through Amber Cars to help create a strong network of operators in the North. Our vision of delivering #smarterlocalrides to communities nationwide is quickly becoming reality."
