Veezu, the UK’s largest and fastest-growing private hire technology business, has acquired Triple 20 Taxi Cars Ltd, which operates under the Triple 20 Taxis and Brookfleet Cars brands across the West Midlands.
The acquisition expands Veezu’s presence into Dudley and Sandwell and builds on its established regional network across Birmingham, Solihull, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury and Telford.
It also supports Veezu’s mission to strengthen local transport and connectivity while delivering smarter, more joined-up services for the communities it serves.
Brookfleet Cars was established in Blackheath in 1973 and is a long-standing family-run private hire operator in the region. Together, Triple 20 Taxis and Brookfleet Cars partner with around 270 self-employed driver-partners and provide local journeys, airport transfers and corporate travel.
Reliable, around-the-clock private hire plays an essential role for local residents, commuters and businesses, complementing wider investment in transport links across the region – including the £295 million West Midlands Metro extension, now being tested ahead of trams reaching Dudley for the first time.
The region is also a major travel gateway. Birmingham Airport, the West Midlands’ principal airport, handled a record 13 million passengers in 2024/2025 and is forecast to approach 14 million in 2025/26, with strong demand for reliable connections between local communities, the airport and onward travel across the country.
Passengers will continue to receive the same trusted local service, now enhanced by Veezu’s technology and national scale. The Veezu app offers a smarter and more streamlined travel experience, including real-time vehicle tracking, improved address search and multiple payment options such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, card
and cash. Passengers can also pre-book journeys in advance, offering greater flexibility and convenience.
Founded in Wales in 2013, Veezu has grown into the UK’s largest homegrown privatehire vehicle business, partnering with thousands of self-employed driver-partners and completing over 25 million rides annually. The company now operates across hundreds of towns and cities nationwide and is licensed by 63 local authorities across England and Wales.
Jon Martin, Managing Director at Veezu, said: “Triple 20 Taxis and Brookfleet Cars are highly respected local brands with strong ties to communities across Dudley and Sandwell. We are delighted to welcome them into our West Midlands network as we continue to expand our series of local transport hubs across the UK. This next joint chapter means even better support for people’s travel needs around the clock, bringing together the trusted local service people know and enjoy, now supported by Veezu’s technology and wider network.”
