Mr Wesson, 40, said: "The robbery has not only left us both shaken and scared, but for several weeks after the incident we didn't feel safe enough to open up at night and for the first month we didn't operate at all after 6pm."
The robbery happened at about 3am on 31 December 2011.
Two men were arrested in connection with the incident but later released without charge.
Detective Constable Steve Hines said: "This was a very nasty robbery during which the owners of the taxi firm not only had their home invaded but were also tied up and threatened."
