We transitioned from our original private hire company (Breightmet Taxis) in 1995 to focus exclusively on airport services, maintaining our reputation for reliability and attention to detail.Our experienced drivers, including founding partners John Nolan and Dave Heywood, bring extensive industry knowledge from their 1982-1995 tenure in Radcliffe and Whitefield. We offer both one-way and return journeys with estate vehicles and 8-seater minibuses, prioritising passenger comfort and convenience. Our operational history demonstrates consistent growth from a local taxi firm to a trusted regional airport transfer provider serving over 4,000 customers. We maintain transparency through free no-obligation quotations and clear communication channels via our Bolton office. Our tribute to late family member Georgie Boy underscores our values of personal connection and community responsibility that continue to guide our service ethos.
