Veezu, a fast-growing private hire technology platform, has announced its move to the heart of the Welsh capital as part of its continued expansion. The company, which operates in the private hire sector, will now be located on the lively St Mary Street in Cardiff, aiming to strengthen its presence in the technology market.

With a workforce of 550 employees, Veezu partners with over 12,500 self-employed drivers across the UK, serving more than 3 million unique passengers annually. Although the Dragon Taxis brand is well-known on a local level in Wales, Veezu has been gradually introducing its brand across Yorkshire, the Midlands, and the southwest, expanding its reach on a nationwide scale.

The decision to relocate from its previous headquarters in Newport to Hodge House in Cardiff is a significant milestone for the company. Hodge House, an office building encompassing 110,000 square feet, recently underwent a £17 million refurbishment. This move not only reinforces Veezu's commitment to growth but also signifies its dedication to establishing a strong presence in Cardiff.

Nathan Bowles, Chief Executive Officer at Veezu, said: “We’re delighted to relocate our head office to a vibrant, modern and sustainable space in the city centre as it reflects our values as a business.

“As we look to continue expanding through acquisitive and organic growth, we also look to provide more employment opportunities in our communities. Our job roles at Veezu may surprise candidates. They include legal professionals, performance marketing specialists, quality and training, business analysts, and data engineers.

“This trajectory means we must also invest in the business's infrastructure. The move to Hodge House reaffirms our commitment to our Welsh roots yet allows us to create an open, inclusive, and diverse organisation, that is easily accessible and where all team members belong.”
