Birkenhead-based Cabfind has appointed Tim Jordan on a fixed-term consultancy contract to help drive the company’s ambitious growth targets.

As a founding partner at Cabfind, Jordan helped shaped the company into what it is today, securing contracts with several rail, freight and travel management companies.

Following the acquisition of Cabfind by global mobility solutions provider Transdev in 2015, Jordan took the decision to step away from the travel industry to focus on his own personal ambitions. After success with his consultancy business and a published novel on the way, Jordan felt the time was right to return to the travel industry.

Lee Wasnidge, managing director commented, “As a founding partner, Tim helped build the footings on which Cabfind stand today. Cabfind has always been a home for Tim, so as soon as we knew he was interested in providing his support I was pleased to welcome him back.”

Cabfind provides a managed taxi service to many organisations from leading travel management companies to corporate businesses and SMEs, with specialist expertise in the rail, media and logistics sectors.
