Whitby, UK – In an exciting development for the UK’s private hire industry, Take Me, the country’s leading private hire network, has partnered with White Rose Taxis, a well-established transportation service in Whitby. Known for its trusted service over the last 35 years, White Rose Taxis is now part of the growing Take Me family, marking a great expansion of Take Me’s presence in the Yorkshire region.
Founded in 1983, White Rose Taxis has been a key player in the transportation community, offering services including school contracts and hospital transport. With this partnership, Take Me will add to its expanding network of private hire companies across the UK, particularly enhancing its coverage in Yorkshire, where it already operates in Rydsdale, Pickering, and Mallton.
CEO Take Me on Acquiring White Rose Taxis
David Hunter, CEO of Take Me, expressed his enthusiasm for this acquisition, noting,
“This is an amazing addition to our fleet, particularly in the Yorkshire region, where we already have a strong foundation. We’re thrilled to welcome White Rose Taxis into the Take Me family and excited to work closely with their CEO, Kris Steele. We’re confident that, together, we’ll bring even more value to the local community in Whitby while helping the business scale with the support of our technology and marketing expertise.”
This acquisition reinforces Take Me’s presence in Yorkshire. It ensures that White Rose Taxis can offer enhanced services through the Take Me digital platform, including access to advanced app technology, streamlined operations, and centralised marketing. The integration promises a win-win scenario for both companies, combining the strengths of White Rose’s local expertise with the Take Me network’s extensive resources and national backing.
White Rose Taxis will continue to operate under its well-established brand, ensuring that loyal customers will still receive the same high-quality service they’ve come to expect. However, with the added benefit of Take Me’s national network, White Rose can deliver services more efficiently and effectively by tapping into advanced technology, improved driver support systems, and increased visibility through digital marketing efforts.
