Classic startup boilerplate advertorial.

But at least one of the photos is a bit different, and not difficult to spot. Not sure if that's a good idea, though

A taxi service has been launched in Framlingham by a former primary school teacher, after noticing a need for it in a town with a growing population.

Dan Cordice, 35, has started Crown Cars, a taxi service operating in and around Suffolk, catering for "local and convenient" journeys, as well as airport runs.

Mr Cordice said: "I'm really looking forward to getting out and meeting all the people in the local area.

"We have been in Framlingham for five years now, so I think it is quite a nice way to meet new people and help the local community.

"I feel there is always a need for taxi services, particularly in a town with a growing population.

"We have a couple here, but they are normally limited to airport runs and I wanted to provide something that was more local and convenient.

"When we have friends up, we always end up going out to Woodbridge and you have to sometimes book two weeks in advance to get a cab back to Framlingham or the surrounding areas."

Mr Cordice, father of three girls, had been a primary school teacher for the past 10 years, but wanted a break from teaching to explore other avenues.

He had previously done taxi driving while at university to earn extra income.

Mr Cordice has said he will cater for Framlingham and the surrounding areas, as well as Ipswich, Woodbridge and Stowmarket.

He said: "At the moment it is just me at the business, but I know I am going to do well with this, I have already had people asking me for journeys and bookings.

"In the future, I definitely want to get more people on board to work for the company."

Mr Cordice has bought a six-seater car specifically for this job, so has the capacity to cater for families of five.

He said: "A lot of taxi companies use four-seaters, so adding those two extra seats allows me more flexibility and other is still ample space for luggage."

Crown Cars are now taking bookings, after receiving all taxi licenses on January 4.

Wish him well.

But starting up as a PH on your own is not an easy task unless you want to work 24/7, with large chunks of sitting around doing SWF.
