The Dial-a-Cab computer has drawn the winners
of the drivers Christmas incentive scheme. Last Christmas, Dial-a-Cab gave away a brand new ‘gold’ spec taxi to Richard Barford (R39) whilst Terry Goldsmith’s (R74) won 6 weeks of luxury holidays with Golden Years Holidays PLC, so how could DaC top that? Well this year they did just that by offering 3 Peugeot 307 1.6 ‘New S’ models for the first 3 drivers selected automatically by the computer – provided they had completed their minimum of 40 jobs per month! Drivers were offered points for coverage with extra points for various times of the day when coverage was more difficult. The winners were Stephen Pluck (M17), Leon Singer (D92) and Mark Thomas (A67). All were naturally delighted… Stephen Pluck has been on DaC four years but has never won any competitions anywhere before! "When I was told I’d won, I thought it was a wind-up," he told Call Sign, "but I have to believe it now!" I still feel thrilled and it was also at a time when I was thinking of buying a new car too. I think the idea of an incentive is brilliant. It certainly encouraged me to do more work than I would have otherwise done, but I never thought I’d win!" Leon Singer has been on DaC for many years and told Call Sign that he liked the idea of an incentive. "It gives DaC the high profile that they deserve," he said. Mark Thomas was previously |

on Radio Taxis but left there 3 years ago. "They still send me post," hetold us, "including a survey asking me which circuit I preferred! Well sorry guys, but I’m afraid you don’t hold a candle to DaC!" And the car? "It was rather funny," he said, "I’d forgotten about the incentive because between 9pm and 3am I only do credit work anyway. Then one day I had a call from Brian Rice and as I’d never spoken to him before, I wondered if I’d done something |
wrong. When he said I had won a car, I thought it was someone pretending to be him! But it’s absolutely brilliant to have a win like this. DaC was always the best circuit anyway - that’s why everyone wants to come here - but now…!" One amazing coincidence. Two of the three drivers have their cars serviced at Stanway Engineering in Chingford – just a tip for next year! Well done to all three winners… |
