The growth plan comes after<br />

a group of private investors<br />

successfully purchased Black &<br />

White Cabs last month from the<br />

troubled P2P Transport through a<br />

Deed of Company Arrangement.<br />

Black & White Cabs Managing<br />

Director Greg Webb, who leads the<br />

group of private investors, said they<br />

planned to expand their network<br />

of 3,000-plus drivers across all of<br />

its locations in Queensland, NSW,<br />

Victoria and Western Australia.<br />

“We’re really excited about the<br />

future for Black & White Cabs,<br />

which has recorded growth in longterm<br />

transport contracts, cars on<br />

the road and revenue even during<br />

COVID,” Mr Webb said.<br />

“We’re looking for more drivers and<br />

operators particularly in Brisbane<br />

and West Moreton but also across<br />

every one of our locations to<br />

meet demand and to service<br />

our growing base of long-term<br />

passenger transport contracts<br />

with government and large<br />

organisations,” Mr Webb said.<br />

He also outlined that, “This month<br />

we signed a new Transport contract<br />

with one of Queensland’s largest<br />

hospital and health services. This<br />

is one of many long-term contracts<br />

we hold with councils, companies<br />

and government to transport<br />

staff, elderly people, students and<br />

people with a disability, which<br />

provides a reliable base of income<br />

to drivers.”<br />

“We’ve also been working with an<br />

online meals delivery company, to<br />

support its expansion in South East<br />

Queensland, as its delivery partner.<br />

We are planning to launch this new<br />

delivery service in March <strong>2021</strong>.”<br />

“We know drivers and operators<br />

love the reliable income base<br />

that comes from Black & White<br />

Cabs holding long-term transport<br />

contracts with governments and<br />

corporations, which is why we’ve<br />

seen a 40 per cent increase in our<br />

fleet since July 2017. As a modern<br />

transport company, we’ll continue<br />

building that base of contracts plus<br />

servicing our everyday demand for<br />

door-to-door transport services.”<br />

Queensland is experiencing growth<br />

driven by tourism, mining and<br />

southern migration. Over the past<br />

three months, Black & White Cabs<br />

has also launched into the Gold<br />

Coast.<br />

Western Australia, NSW and<br />

Victoria were our highest growth<br />

markets over the past 12 months.<br />

P2P Transport went into voluntary<br />

administration in December,<br />

however as Black & White Cabs was<br />

a profitable subsidiary company,<br />

it continued to operate business<br />

as usual. “Black & White Cabs no<br />

longer has a relationship with P2P,”<br />

Mr Webb said.<br />
