Addison Lee

Yesterday afternoon, Addison Lee hosted a Black History Month Mixer to conclude Black History Month for colleagues and neighbouring companies, encouraging employees to meet new people, and engage in meaningful conversations about black history and culture. The mixer was more than just food and socialising, it was about creating a space for us to celebrate, reflect, and connect. It was a great way to let conversations flow in a positive, welcoming environment as we focused on this years theme of ‘Reclaiming Narratives’. We were fortunate to be joined by some incredible brands and entrepreneurs, including: 🍹 K’s Cocktails – specialising in custom cocktails that brought unique flavours to the event  🎉 All Shades Cards – with beautiful, inclusive greeting cards celebrating all shades of love and friendship  🍲 Novice Kitchen – serving up soulful, mouth-watering tasters  🍛 Demi’s Restaurant – treating us to authentic, delicious Nigerian cuisine  ✨ Austin Okolo and Harriet C.– who inspired us with their insights and creative flair Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making this event a success, especially Alison Kasobia Urja Patel and Vari O'Neill. We’re excited to continue important conversations promoting diversity and inclusion, not just this month but every day. #BHM2024 #SupportBlackBusiness #AddisonLee

A message from our CEO, Liam Griffin:    I’m pleased to announce that Addison Lee is joining forces with ComfortDelGro, a leading multi-modal mobility operator who are acquiring Addison Lee.      With huge expertise gained through their operations in 12 countries and a global network of over 40,000 vehicles, we are confident they are the perfect complementary partner to drive our next phase of growth and guide our expansion beyond London and the UK.     They share our philosophy, vision, and ambition for the Addison Lee brand, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share more about the decision and partnership.     In 2020, the management team and I returned to the business with a clear goal – ensuring Addison Lee regained its position as London’s most trusted, reliable and professional ground transport provider.    Never did we imagine that we would take the reins back on the first day of the UK’s national lockdown. However, by setting clear priorities to protect and support our staff, partner drivers, and customers, not only did we successfully navigate the pandemic, but we emerged stronger than ever.     Our following acquisitions of ComCab London in 2021 and Green Tomato Cars in 2023 allowed us to significantly scale operations and meet the growing demand in the city for premium, reliable transport.    None of this would have been possible without the strong commitment from our team and partner drivers. It is their hard work that has set us up perfectly for the next step of the Addison Lee journey - expansion into the wider UK premium segment and beyond.     I am very happy to confirm that I will remain as CEO, ready to drive the next phase of our journey, alongside the current key management team.     This partnership is a testament to the quality of our brand and the service that the Addison Lee team and partner drivers deliver every day. I look forward to embarking on this next chapter and continuing to support both our loyal customers and the city that we have called home for almost 50 years. 

Last night we were proud to attend the National Courier Awards at the iconic Drapers Hall. It was a fantastic evening celebrating the achievements of our dynamic industry throughout the year. We are thrilled that two of our incredible drivers Michael McLegend and Robert Skinn won the two wheel road category award. Congratulations to all the winners, and the shortlisters, including our very own Luke Bovell 🏆 and thank you to the Institute of Couriers (IOC) for hosting a wonderful evening #natcourierawards #addisonlee #courier

Looking forward to the ITM | Institute of Travel Management Aurumn Conference tomorrow, which I’ll be attending with Beth Sampson, Jonathan Hughes and Rachel Connolly. A great agenda, but I’m particularly looking forward to the ‘Are We Grounded?’ segment, which will be debated by Samantha Mcknight, Leonard Mattison, Simon Andrews, Cristina Chimenti and representatives from Blacklane, Enterprise Mobility and Trainline. The conference looks well thought out with a great lineup of speakers and topics, a great opportunity to learn and engage with thought leaders and professionals. If you’re attending, let’s connect in person 🫱🏼🫲🏾 #ITMAutumnconference #Industrydebate #Keynotespeaker #networking #Professionaldevelopmwnt #Addisonlee #groundtransport

Really looking forward to be spending my day at the ITM Autumn Conference tomorrow. I’m (slightly) bias and loving that there’s a session spotlighting ground transport with some true industry experts on the panel 👌 but very much looking forward to listening, learning and making new connections throughout the day alongside Beth Sampson Hayley Smith-Pryor & Jonathan Hughes. ……haven’t been to the Royal National Hotel before so excited for something new there too!
