Back in July 1985 Lyn Roberts our current MD, helped start
a company called Z Cars get of the ground, this is where she
caught the "Taxi" bug and in October of that year,
started a small company from her back room called "Lyn's
Roller Cars", in those days you did not need the Licenses
you need now and there were plenty of small companies around.
This company was sold off in 1987 so Lyn could commit to her
Family for the next couple of years as their exams took president.
Due
to financial problems that Roller Cars were having in 1990,
Lyn made an offer to clear the debt for the control in the
company. This was to be the beginning of "Lyn's Cars".
At
this point her eldest son, Jon, became the day controller,
The company was small, at about 8 cars. The company saw a
very steady growth over the next 12 years. By this time Jon
felt that he would like the chance to try and move the company
forward and offered to buy the company of 34 Cars from his
mother and make changes most noticeably the Name. So on 1st
May 2002 A2B Worthing Private Hire opened it's doors to the
Worthing Public. Over the next 3 years a lot happened and
after purchasing 2 more companies and adding an additional
30 Cars, the company became the leaders for Private Hire in
Worthing.
I
August of 2005 the company had grown so large that Jon felt
that he needed assistance in the Running of the company. So
there was only one person he could and would turn to!!
Back
to the helm came Lyn and together they created a Limited company
and installed a new Booking and Despatch system to carry on
the investment into the business. Lyn became the Managing
Director and Jon became the company secretary. After the first
year as a Limited company it was decided that a change of
image was needed and so after numerous different ideas it
was decided on the Big, Bold Logo you see at the top of these
pages.
Over
the last 25 years, A2B have trained many staff member and
drivers some of whom have gone on to start their own businesses
after leaving A2B, including M&D's original owners and
also the current owners of A&A, and we like to think that
we have shown them the way to go as both companies are still
running, just not on the scale of A2B.
I
2009 it was time for a change of scenery and A2B Worthing
moved from thier seaside premises to a new Unit on a Businbess
Park. This new office offered a reception room, Meeting Room,
Control Room as well as seperate offices for Lyn and Jon.
The move went very smoothly and the office is being used to
bring in new corporate clients, using our impressive suroundings.
So
here we are in 2010 and A2B Worthing now have the largest
fleet of vehicles in Worthing and it's surrounding area and
are one of the most technically advanced companies in West
Sussex.
Over
