Though by its very nature eminently relocatable throughout the region, the business currently operates from a home office base situated in the popular village of Langley Park, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A691, A617 and A1M injunction 62 etc.) and to the nearby cities of Durham (approximately 4 miles) and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (approximately 14 miles) in County Durham.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of real quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This long established and highly regarded, family-run business currently primarily conducts a prompt, reliable and highly efficient hackney taxi hire operation for all occasions in a small fleet of scrupulously maintained and fully licensed passenger service vehicles which are to be included in the sale price, and include a fully adaptable wheelchair accessible option.

The business provides its services for all manner small, medium and long distance purposes, including rail and airport transfers, shopping trips and regular school contract runs and generates a considerable volume of additional custom through its two valuable taxi-rank permits for Durham city centre’s mainline railway station.

“Park Taxis” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding repeat and referral, ‘one off’ and contracting client base drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with almost unlimited scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional vehicles and staff and to the possible introduction of full 24 hour trading in order to exploit year-round local and regional demand.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and booking, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some forty-seven successful years ago by the two current family proprietors, with the aid of a small team of four experienced and motivated staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized or larger allied enterprise looking to significantly increase its existing share of the professional hackney hire solutions services market by the acquisition of a small, but dynamic and easily relocatable additional independent operator with a valuable local name and a long established client base, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.

We are further informed that a small fleet of three, scrupulously maintained and fully licensed passenger service vehicles are to be included in the sale price, which briefly comprises 1 x Skoda Octavia 4x4 Estate, 1 x Toyota saloon with railway taxi-rank permit and 1 x Peugeot with full mobility wheelchair access and railway taxi-rank permit, further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.
