Arrow to hit the target with upmarket service

The Leeds-based company launches Arrow E Class, a prestige service fuelled by a Mercedes E Class fleet with uniformed drivers and complementary 4G wifi.

Arrow Cars director David Richmond said: “We’ve been operating a very successful private hire company for several years and it seemed a natural progression to offer an enhanced service for discerning individuals and businesses.”

The service launches with nine Mercedes E Class vehicles, set to increase to 70 vehicles by 2016.

The company expects to create new jobs in Leeds in both administration and driving roles as the service grows.

The company’s traditional private hire business operates nationwide with a fleet of 500 cars and a team of 60 full-time support staff.

Arrow Cars holds numerous supplier contracts with a wide range of businesses including Leeds Bradford International Airport, Manchester Airport, East Midlands Airport and Leeds’ First Direct Arena.
