Taxi Driver Online

Haven't been bothering with the Veezu acquisition/takeover trail lately.

But noticed this one because of the description used. Makes the likes of Uber and Bolt as 'ride-hailing giants' seem quite accurate.

It's only four words, but, I mean...

Does this mean that every circuit with an app is now a 'ride hire tech firm'?

(I think the four words derive partly from Veezu's PR, and partly from this publication's characterisation. But can't be bothered looking into it.)


Taxi tech firm 'in gear for growth' with Midlands deal

A ride hire tech firm says it is primed to drive ahead after completing a takeover.

Veezu has bought Triple 20 Taxi Cars.

Bosses say the move for the West Midlands operator – which includes the Triple 20 Taxis and Brookfleet Cars brands – bolsters a “mission to strengthen local transport and connectivity”.

They add the swoop will expand Cardiff-headquartered Veezu’s presence into Dudley and Sandwell and build on an existing network across Birmingham, Solihull, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury and Telford.

Founded in 2013, Veezu is known for an app that allows users to book, track and pay for taxi journeys.

Officials say it works with thousands of self-employed driver-partners, with its services licensed by more than 60 local authorities across England and Wales.

Family-run Brookfleet Cars was established in Blackheath in 1973 and, alongside Triple 20 Taxis, works with about 270 self-employed driver-partners.

Jon Martin, Veezu managing director, said: “Triple 20 Taxis and Brookfleet Cars are highly respected local brands with strong ties to communities across Dudley and Sandwell.

“We are delighted to welcome them into our West Midlands network.

“This next joint chapter means even better support for people’s travel needs around the clock.”

Must be the only provider in the country known for that, by the sounds of it

And both Veezu and the acquired companies 'work with self-employed driver-partners'.

Obviously no cracking of the whip there

Veezu like uber have an overactive pr(spin doctor) team

Let's get this right: they are the 'pr(spin doctor) team' partners.
