About Us.
Where did our name come from.
The 'H' is the first letter of my surname and the
3 from the fact I have 3 children.
Why do we have 3 titles.
Originally I called the company Triple H Taxis.
After about 4 years one of our very good American customers had
finished his tour over here, and the going home party left him
without funds. He said if I took him to the airport he would mail a
cheque (check) and he did. He made the cheque out to 'HHH Taxis'.
About 1 year later a similar story with another customer going home
to America and this time the cheque was written to pay '3h taxi
co'.
Thank-you America for my extra 'titles'.
First day of work was September 27th 1992.
The first car was a four previous owners (all taxi
drivers) Nissan Bluebird GSXi with 175,000+ miles on the clock.
14 years later having used 26 vehicles to date,
(getting newer as we go), we are now 7 vehicles with differing
seating capabilities and not 1 car more than 4 years of age.
July 2000, the first NEW car was bought. Kia
Clarus Executive. Not an expensive car, but more room than most
executive cars inside and totally reliable. Leather seats, wooden
dash and comfortable. Germany and back over a week-end. No problem.
100mph when on the continent. No problem.
November 2001, our first NEW mini-bus. VW
Transporter, Petrol, so that LPG (Natural Gas to our cousins across the pond) could be implemented, (and is), 8
seats, wheelchair friendly, remove all seats for larger courier
items. A truly all round vehicle.
Another NEW vehicle was bought on the 9th October
2004. Brand new, Sat-nav, Cruise control, Onboard computer, Rain
sensitive wipers, Turn signals on frontside of door rear view
mirrors, 6 disc cd player, rear bumper sensors, climate control, air
conditioning, traction control, 1.9TDi, 58mpg @ 70mph, (I know, I
got the figures). Skoda Octavia Elegance.
This is the 3rd brand new car we have had within
the last 4 years.
Initially the company was started as a taxi
service, but it doesn't take long to become flexible when asked 'can
you' and you know it will fit in a car, then a courier service you
offer too.
We do not group our courier work, if you call us -
it goes.
The Skoda has now been superceded as our newest by
a nearly new Ford Focus. It did its 1st days work on 6th December
2004, just in time for the Christmas rush.
February 2005 I bought a Mercedes 'S' Class
Limo. Needless to say this is not on the taxi circuit, but can be
booked using the regular numbers. This now compliments our 'E' Class
and gives the customer a choice.
April 2005, a Ford Tourneo 8 seater
ML05 KKT was bought, converted to wheelchair friendly
in May, and made its appearance on the road in June 2005. I was
pleasantly surprised with the comfort and space inside this vehicle.
Better than I expected and huge. So much room inside.
September 2005, The Mercedes 'E' Class was traded in for a second Mercedes 'S' Class. Fully loaded, it's great. Again bookable through the usual channels.
August 2007. Now waiting for our latest new vehicle to be delivered. It will be last week in August or first week in September. Another Ford Transit Tourneo. It will be converted to 'Wheelchair Friendly' and then ready to go.
December 2008. A second Ford Transit Tourneo. It also was converted to 'Wheelchair Friendly' and compliments the rest of the fleet.
