I would first like to
express my sincere thanks to all those members that voted for me
to be re-elected to the Board. There will be a lot of work to do
in the coming year and I am looking forward to rolling up the
sleeves and getting stuck in. At the AGM, a member asked us to review the dispatching procedures for E14C and E14S. Allan Evans, Day Shift Call Centre Senior Controller Lee Morland and myself went to Canary Wharf and spoke with many other members and made the recommendation to the Board to make some changes between the hours of 06:00 and 21:00 Monday to Friday. Allan Evans has included in his article a full list of the new procedures and I urge everyone to read and understand them before we go live on Monday 7 March. Copies of the procedures are also available from the Driver’s Reception at |

Chinese visitors to Knowledge Point |
|
Representatives of the
Chinese National Bank and Shanghai LTI recently
visited Taxi Trade Promotions training arm Knowledge
Point School. The visitors were intently interested in the
workings of the Knowledge of London and in particular why it
seems to take so long. Whilst reassured by |
|
Knowledge Point’s achievements, they obviously saw the issue as a factor in the London taxi market… |
London taxi in Kuwait exhibition |

A TX4 was showcased along with
other leading British products in the eighth Britain In
Kuwait exhibition at the Salwa Al-Sabah Ballroom in Kuwait
City in February. This major annual event is open to the public and covers many industry sectors including retail, automotive, healthcare, education, engineering, aviation, banking, finance and hospitality. This year the automotive sector featured inspiring brands including Aston Martin, Bentley and Jaguar alongside the instantly recognisable London Taxi exhibited by Al-Zayani, official appointed partner for The London Taxi Company. The three-day event, organized under the patronage of His Highness Sheik Nasser Al-Mohammad Al Ahmed Al Sabah, Prime Minister and British Ambassador, Frank Baker aims to draw attention to the close trade and investment links between Kuwait and the UK. Ahmad Felo, Marketing Manager for Al-Zayani told Call Sign: |
The TX4 was the centre of attention at the Kuwait exhibition |
"This was the
first time we have exhibited the London Taxi and the response
was incredible. The Taxi was the most popular vehicle there as
visitors came to see the icon that some only see on TV or if
fortunate enough, when travelling to the UK. Now the London Taxi
is here in Kuwait, people want to see it, touch it and most of
all ride in it!" Kuwait based David Bentley, International Sales Manager for The London Taxi Company confirmed that the total number of London Taxis in Kuwait has doubled since 2010. "The demand for this vehicle continues to grow thanks to the good work of Al-Zayani who successfully promotes The London Taxi Service throughout Kuwait." |
