Administrators appointed to taxi company

A TAXI business, which has traded in York for 15 years with one of the largest fleets of private hire vehicles in the city, has been placed into administration.

Rob Sadler and Dave Broadbent of Begbies Traynor in York were appointed as joint administrators of Six Five Nine Cars.

Located on Layerthorpe, the business is continuing to trade while a buyer is sought.  

All 10 support staff have retained their jobs, along with the drivers all of whom are self-employed.

Joint administrator Rob Sadler said: “Unfortunately, the business has recently suffered from management issues and cash flow problems.  This led to a creditor asking the court to put the company into administration.

“However, it is very much business as usual for customers, staff and drivers. We have already received enquiries from a number of interested parties and we are confident that we will be able to find a buyer for the business as a going concern, so delivering the best return possible for creditors.”
