After attending one of the LPHCA ‘open evenings’ in
Euston in 2003, my husband and I (Pam and Mithat
Coskun) having bought Sam’s Cars in 2002, considered
joining the LPHCA and became members.
We joined the association at a very exciting time, just a few years after licensing
with the realisation that there was so much still to do regarding drivers and vehicle
licensing, parking, red routes, bus lanes, vehicle testing, the list became endless.
We realised very quickly that a central body was needed to have a voice with the PCO
and others to put the operators and drivers case forward. We have seen the LPHCA
become extremely professional and the Chairman Steve and his team of willing
helpers, together with the various individual committees now set up to deal with
specific areas within our industry, are fulfilling a very needy position and voice in our
Industry.
Sam’s Cars has enjoyed being part of the Association and its growth and have
benefited from being a Platinum Member as we now provide transport for several local
authorities. We have been lucky in expanding our core business in difficult times.
LPHCA professional advisors have helped us with a legal matter, together with various
professional industry suppliers. Steve is always there to impart his great expertise in
our industry.
Lastly and most importantly we do not feel alone trying to survive as we have made
many friends networking with our fellow members and colleagues in our industry,
which has come a long way in the past 10 years. Congratulations on your 50th edition
of the Private Hire News Magazine.
