After their taxi firm was sold to a larger company, a group of employees have banded together and created their own business together. 10 friends from County Cars, which was sold to DG Cars in March 2023, have created their own local taxi firm called NG8 cars which is due to launch this week in the Broxtowe area.
The eight taxi drivers and two board operators were due to launch their new business on Monday, April 10, but now expect to open it later this week after some unexpected delays. The partners say that after their firm was sold it changed how they had to work and it took them far from their local area that they have been servicing for years.
However, the new business will focus on the NG8 area of Nottinghamshire, which is west of Nottingham, but will be servicing other areas too. Liam Chapman, 39, has been a taxi driver for 15 years, and explained that many of the group had worked at the previous company for a number of years.
