About this business
Trading since 2008, this Liverpool private hire operator dispatches cars for account customers, airport and station transfers and everyday bookings across the city.

Turnover has grown from £684k in 2021 to £760k, but EBITDA has fallen from a peak of £117k in 2023 to £98k as driver and fuel costs have risen.
