A quick word from Colin, manager of Sevens Callback Cars: “Hi, I'm Colin, the manager at Sevens Callback Cars on the Wirral. I just want to say a big thank you to Paul Newbery and the whole Elite family for welcoming us and letting us join the team. Without Elite's support, we would have probably gone under a year ago because of the big firms out there.
"Looking back at this past year, I'm amazed at how much we've grown. At first, when I heard about merging with other firms, I thought: 'Oh no, here we go again, another person who thinks they know it all.' But I was so wrong. Paul is a great guy and always there when I need him.
"Working with Patsy, Paul, Glyn, Mark, and Fahad has let me work the way I've always wanted to. The iCabbi system setup gives me the freedom to focus on other important things, knowing I have the support of Patsy, Paul, and Mark. It's been fantastic.
"It might sound cheesy, but I think we work well together because we really care about our customers and drivers. We operate like a family business, just like the old days of taxiing. Our customers know us, and we know them. It's a personal connection we really value.”
And some words from Patsy the Owner of Sevens Callback Cars: “A big thank you to Paul and the Elite Team, Sevens Team and all our drivers for all the support given the past year in making everything work. We are probably one of the only family ran day to day taxi companies left on the Wirral and with the support of our loyal customers and wonderful drivers we have managed to stay afloat.
"In joining the Elite Family we have become an even bigger family, with the same ethics, looking after our drivers and customers as our priority.
"Thank you again Elite for all your support and guidance and here’s to many more years to come.”
