The Taxi Centre Joins Cabbie Parade to Give Kids a Day to Remember
Two big-hearted LEVC Salesmen from The Taxi Centre swapped the forecourt for the front seat this June, as they joined a colourful convoy of cabs bringing joy to children with special needs in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
James Welsh and Jordan Walker took the wheel for the legendary Taxi Outings – long-running events where local cabbies volunteer their time (and their taxis) to give youngsters a magical day out.
In true tradition, the duo’s LEVC taxis were decked out in bright polka-dot designs, turning heads as they rolled through the city streets in high-spirited processions.
The outing began with a lively morning gathering at Kelvingrove, before the children boarded their rides and the taxis headed off in a spectacular procession through Glasgow City Centre – complete with bagpipes, balloons, and plenty of high fives – before heading down the coast to Troon.
There, the youngsters were treated to a full day of funfair attractions, games, food, and entertainment before returning home in equally as exuberant style.
Jordan Walker, Field Sales Manager at The Taxi Centre said: “It’s one of the best days in the taxi calendar. You’ve got drivers from all over coming together, not for business, but to give these amazing kids a day they’ll never forget.
"The smiles, the laughter, the buzz – it’s what it’s all about. It’s also a brilliant way to catch up with others in the trade and show what a strong, caring community we’ve got.”
The Taxi Centre, part of Vertu Motors plc, is the UK’s leading supplier of taxis to the trade. Based in Glasgow, it specialises in providing purpose-built vehicles to professional drivers across the country, including the latest LEVC electric taxis.
With a reputation for expert advice, competitive pricing and strong aftersales support, The Taxi Centre is trusted by thousands of drivers to keep them on the road.
