Grandchild number two for Brian Rice!

Added to grandson Charlie, Dial-a-Cab Chairman Brian Rice and wife Brenda now have a granddaughter added to the family!
   Their son Billy – who used to work in the DaC call centre – and wife Sam proudly introduced Molly Jane Rice to the world at 10.26 on the morning of Monday 14 June. The youngest member of the Rice family weighed in at a healthy-sounding 7lbs 9ozs (3.45 kilos).
   The new baby’s name follows something of a strange and seemingly unconnected tradition with Brenda’s middle name being Jane, their daughter being named Carla Jane, Sam having a middle name of Jane and just to add to the amazing connection, Sam’s mother is called Jane!
   As befits his position as Chairman, Brian – whose middle name isn’t Jane - had to remain impartial while giving his first quote to Call Sign about his new granddaughter.
   "She’s absolutely gorgeous," he said with a huge grin…!

Manganese aims to be in profit again this year
Manganese Bronze Holdings have posted a smaller loss for 2010 reporting aManganese CEO John Russell pre-tax loss of £6.3million. That compares to a 2009 loss of £7.3million. In addition, Manganese said that via their London Taxi Company, their share of the market has increased from 75% up to 82% since this year’s launch of the two new TX4 models – the Style and the Elegance – although through difficult trading conditions and a small drop in new vehicle sales, MBH still saw its overall turnover drop 4.8% to £69.6million with their net debt increasing from £5.1million to £14.4 million.
   With a substantial amount of restructuring, including many parts now being manufactured at their Shanghai facility with Geely and their agreement with Azerbaijan for a deal worth $27 million, the company say that 2011 should see a return to profit.
   Chief Executive John Russell said: "The group is well positioned to return to profitability in 2011 and make further progress with joint initiatives with Geely."
