26 Mar 2008 47 years with a clean licence A POPULAR taxi driver has retired after 47 years loyal service. Fred Edwards, 79, completed his last day at Dales Taxi firm, Cabin/Station Square, Colwyn Bay on Friday, March 14. He celebrated with his colleagues and received a book of photographs showing his many memories. Back in 1961 he started his own taxi service on a part time basis, whilst working as a Night Dispatch Manager for W H Smith Wholesale newsagents. On finishing at W H Smith’s in 1972 he went into full time business on the taxis. Fred said: “At this time a person could travel to Manchester or Liverpool for just £5.00 and a wedding would cost just £20.” 24 years ago Fred sold one of his taxis to Mr Alan Dale and this was the beginning of Dales. Eighteen years ago Fred decided to work for Dales. The well-loved taxi driver has driven for 47 years with a clean driving licence. Vivienne Spencer, Owner of Dales Taxi said: “Everybody at Dales and many customers wish Fred a long and happy retirement. He has never let us down he is there at 6am everyday and is the most reliable driver that we have ever had.” Source: North Wales Pioneer ---------- Disclaimer These press articles are intended for informational purposes only.
