The latest acquisition by Veezu will accelerate growth plans

Go Carz, the UK’s sixth biggest private hire operator has been acquired by Veezu, the UK’s biggest private hire business.

Nathan Bowles, Veezu CEO said: “I’m delighted to welcome everyone at Go Carz to Veezu. Go Carz is an extremely well managed and established business that complements our existing private hire brands. I look forward to working with Carl Wilday, Graham Hoof and Robin Gibson who will be helping us realise the Go Carz regional growth plan.”

Go Carz complete more than 5 million journeys a year and will be a significant boost to the 13 million bookings completed by Veezu in 2019.

Carl Wilday, managing director of Go Carz, said: “It’s very much business as usual. The Go Carz brand will be staying, and we will continue to be based out of our existing Head Office in Shrewsbury and our regional offices around Shropshire and the West Midlands. Being part of Veezu brings us access to additional resource and expertise, as well as the next generation of technology innovation that will benefit both the driver partners and passengers of Go Carz.”

The acquisition marks Veezu’s third acquisition in 2020, following hot in the footsteps of Cwmbran Cars and Chauffeur Cars in January this year. This latest deal see’s Veezu now operating with more than 6000 driver partners, making it significantly the biggest private hire business in the UK.

Veezu has four other major service hubs throughout the UK, each operating under established local brands – A2B Radio Cars in the West Midlands, Amber Cars in Leeds, Dragon Taxis in South Wales and V Cars in the South West.

Nathan concludes: “We have started this year very strongly and have clearly accelerated our growth. Our vision to grow Veezu both organically and through acquisitions is on track. We are excited at the prospect of delivering the next stages of our Veezu growth strategy and vision.”

The Go Carz acquisition means private hire technology innovators Veezu are set to complete more than 350,000 amazing journeys each week.

Whoever wrote this either doesn't consider Uber a *private hire* business, doesn't consider it a *UK* business, or simply doesn't have a clue

Think I would have delayed the acquisition for six months.

Then the price would have been much lower, or maybe wouldn't have happened.

I do hope they have big pockets because right now I very much doubt their "driver Partners" can afford to pay board rent I know I will have to give my drivers up to 8 weeks free and rely on cash reserves to pay the bills or they won't be able to eat
