The founder of mini-cab group Addison Lee raked in £3.6million last year after driving the firm’s profits to record highs.
John Griffin, pictured, who started the London-based cab service in 1975, enjoyed the largest slice of a £12.6million pay pie, which he shared with four other executives.
His package was almost two thirds higher than last year, when he took £2.2million, and mirrors the growth of the company’s profits – which swelled by 62 per cent to £7.6million for the year ended August 2011.
Company reports filed online yesterday also show the group’s turnover rose by one fifth to £127.5million during the year.

But didn't the mob led by the chap with the MBE recently say this, when rejecting the DSA 'taxi' test?
Quote:
The proposals were dropped as hundreds of operators voted against the plans at the recent LPHCA AGM in London with the argument that introducing such a requirement during difficult times(*) would severely impact the industry. Additionally, it was said that the tests would cost the business millions of pounds before any others costs are factored in.
Methinks some want their cake and eat it.
But it gives weight to those of us that don't want the spivs from London taking over.
