Cab Direct’s roadshow team is having another busy year up and down the UK. So far this ‘season’ our popular taxi roadshows have found their way to numerous towns and cities, including Manchester, Trafford, Liverpool, Norwich, Edinburgh, Nottingham and Derby.
This August saw our summer schedule come to a close in Yorkshire, with events held in Leeds and Sheffield. Both events were well attended on the day, with many cabbies taking the opportunity to test-drive the various taxis for sale on display.
Leeds Taxi Roadshow
The star of the show at Leeds was undoubtedly the Peugeot Premier wheelchair accessible taxi, which has gone down a storm with drivers in the area since it was launched back in 2009.
Specially adapted from the Peugeot Partner, the Premier™ combines stylish good looks and masses of space with an impressively low price tag. Powered by Peugeot’s economical Euro 5 HDi diesel engine, the Premier™ boasts excellent fuel efficiency too. Add wheelchair access and the Premier™ provides the ideal cab for the modern-day driver.
Sheffield Taxi Roadshow
Held at Sheffield United FC, our popular full spec black cabs – the Peugeot E7 and Peugeot EuroTaxi – were the focus of our Sheffield event.
Tailor-made for the professional driver, the purpose-built Peugeot E7™ offers the perfect vehicle for the UK’s hard-working taxi trade. Whilst, for the economy-minded, the economical Peugeot EuroTaxi™ – our lowest ever priced full spec hackney – does the job for less.
Forthcoming Shows
Planning is already underway for our autumn taxi roadshows, which will include appearances in the South and South West. If you’ve not had an event near you yet, email info@cabdirect.com with your suggestion – all ideas are welcome.
Each event includes relevant local models on display and available to test-drive, with your local sales reps on hand to give pricing information on new and used cabs, taxi finance quotations and part-exchange valuations. Just as important the kettle’s always on for a cuppa, not to mention the chance to grab a free bite to eat.
Cab Direct managing director Paul Nelson commented: “Our taxi roadshows are a great way for us to meet new customers, catch up with current customers and get to know about key issues in each local area.
“Our roadshow team always works hard to put on a good show and, as a company, we really value the feedback we get – good and bad – from the local cab trade. This helps us make further refinements to our various taxi models and services.
“I’d like to thank everyone that’s come along to one of our 2013 events so far – and we hope to see many more of you over the next few months.”
Look out for an event near you and don’t miss out on your chance to do a great deal on the day!
