Arrow Cars takes off with airport contract

PRIVATE hire company Arrow Cars, headquartered in Leeds, has won a major contract with Bristol Airport.

Arrow is the official taxi company at Leeds Bradford, Manchester and East Midlands Airport and the contract with Bristol sees the company penetrate the south.

Bristol Airport is the UK’s ninth busiest airport and Arrow will boost its staff numbers from 60 to 85 on the back of the contract.

Driver numbers will also increase, taking the company’s driver number to over 700.

Chairman David Richmond, a former Leeds United director, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the contract to operate the private hire concession at Bristol Airport. It now gives us a national presence to complement our existing operations at Leeds Bradford, Manchester and East Midlands Airport.

“Our existing operations have gone from strength to strength with sustained growth. Our focus is always on our customers. Giving them a high quality customer experience from the initial booking process through to the journey itself is paramount. Booking on line, by our pre-paid app, at one of our airport desks or by phone, we give our customers a seamless experience.

“We are looking forward to offering our Bristol customers the same high quality Arrow service.”
