Speaking & Writing

I operate at the sharp end of UK taxi and I can articulate what's actually happening in this industry. Available for panels, keynotes, articles, academic collaboration, and media commentary.

Speaking & Panels

With hands-on experience across City Taxis, Veezu, and Take Me Group — from 60-car independents to 16,000+ driver national operations — I'm looking to share what I've learned on stage. My focus is on what actually works in practice, not theory.

Topics & Scope

  • Multi-site operations and the challenge of scaling taxi businesses
  • Technology decisions in taxi — when to buy, build, or scale
  • Consolidation and rollup strategy in fragmented transport markets
  • The future of UK private hire: regulation, technology, and market dynamics
  • Operational optimisation — building consistency across complex multi-site operations

Available for keynotes, panel discussions, fireside chats, and moderating at industry events and conferences.

Academic & Policy

I'm keen to bridge the gap between academic transport research and frontline industry operations. The taxi sector is often studied from a policy or technology perspective — I can bring the view from the ground, backed by experience across every scale of UK private hire.

  • Guest lecturing on transport, business, and urban mobility programmes
  • Collaborative research with academic institutions
  • Practitioner insight for regulatory and policy discussions
  • Expert input on government consultations affecting private hire

Open to collaboration with university departments, think tanks, and policy bodies working on transport, urban mobility, and gig economy regulation.
