Addison Lee is the largest premium point-to-point operator in the United Kingdom (UK) and is renowned for bringing quality and innovation into the sector. This acquisition serves as a catalyst for ComfortDelGro’s expansion into an attractive premium mobility market, strengthening its overall point-to-point proposition in the UK and globally. On completion, the 7,500 drivers and 5,000 vehicles of the Addison Lee network will join CityFleet Networks’ existing private hire and black taxi fleets elsewhere in the UK including Liverpool, the Wirral, Chester and Aberdeen.

Addison Lee是英國最大的高端點對點運營商,以在行業中引入質量和創新而聞名。此次收購將成爲康福德高企業進軍具吸引力的高端移動出行市場的催化劑,強化其在英國和全球點對點服務中的全面提議。完成後,Addison Lee網絡的7,500名司機和5,000輛車將加入CityFleet Networks在英國其他地方的現有私人預定和黑色出租車車隊,包括利物浦、韋拉爾、切斯特和阿伯丁。

ComfortDelGro’s Managing Director / Group CEO, Mr Cheng Siak Kian said: “Addison Lee is an established leader in serving the differentiated premium segment in London. Beyond expanding our footprint in the UK, this acquisition will enable us to leverage Addison Lee’s expertise to deepen and scale our premium point-to-point capability globally. It will also strengthen our overall point-to-point proposition, creating strong synergy with our existing businesses.”

康福德高企業的董事兼首席執行官鄭錫堅表示:「Addison Lee是倫敦差異化高端市場中的領軍者。除了擴大我們在英國的業務範圍外,此次收購還將使我們能夠利用Addison Lee的專業知識在全球加深和放大我們的高端點對點服務能力。這也將增強我們的整體點對點提議,與我們現有的業務產生強大的協同效應。」

This acquisition will further grow the Group’s presence in the UK. In addition to operating CityFleet Networks in several locations across the UK, ComfortDelGro provides pre-planned and on-demand ground transportation to businesses, as well as private and ride-share transfers to airports, bus and train stations and ports through its recently acquired business, CMAC. The Group also owns and operates Metroline buses and Westbus coaches in London, Adventure Travel buses and coaches in Wales, as well as the Megabus, Scottish Citylink and Irish Citylink inter-city coach services.

此次收購將進一步擴大集團在英國的存在。除了在英國多個地點經營CityFleet Networks外,康福德高企業提供預先規劃和按需的地面運輸服務給企業,以及通過最近收購的業務CMAC向機場、汽車站和港口提供私人和拼車接送服務。該集團還擁有並經營倫敦的Metroline巴士和Westbus長途巴士、威爾士的Adventure Travel巴士和長途巴士,以及Megabus、Scottish Citylink和Irish Citylink市際長途巴士服務。

Mr Liam Griffin, CEO of Addison Lee said: “Over the last four years, ComfortDelGro has demonstrated its deep knowledge of the business, and a clear understanding of our customers’ and drivers’ needs. This, alongside the strength and heritage of the Addison Lee brand, has positioned us perfectly for further expansion into the premium market. ComfortDelGro is a perfect fit for us. They share our philosophy, vision, and ambition for the Addison Lee brand and bring significant international industry expertise to the business.”

ComfortDelGro Chairman, Mr Mark Greaves said: “This acquisition is in line with our strategy to expand the Group’s point-to-point mobility portfolio. We will leverage Addison Lee’s strong brand, customer base and reliable premium driver network to continue creating great journeys for our customers and the communities we serve – a commitment that we hold true across our businesses. With 90 percent of their existing fleet already made up of cleaner energy vehicles, this will help accelerate our fleet transition journey.”

康福德高企業主席Mark Greaves先生表示:「這一收購符合我們擴大集團點對點出行業務的策略。我們將利用Addison Lee強大的品牌、客戶群和可靠的優質司機網絡,繼續爲我們的客戶和所服務的社區創造優質出行體驗 - 這是我們在所有業務中秉持的承諾。由於他們現有車隊中已有90%的車輛採用清潔能源,這將有助於加速我們的車隊過渡之旅。」

The addition of Addison Lee will grow the Group’s taxi and private hire network to more than 34,000 vehicles globally.
