Wrexham’s Crown Cars joins fast-growing Take Me group

Take Me Group has made another acquisition, with Crown Cars of Wrexham joining the fast-expanding cab conglomerate.

The north Wales-based company was founded in 1983, and has been run from its base in Rhosllannerchrugog by Andy Roberts since 2016. It currently has a fleet of around 20 vehicles, and Roberts said: “Crown Cars is one of the leading providers of taxi hire in the Wrexham area. We have an extensive fleet of cars including both 6-seater and 8-seater vehicles, only using local drivers with the right knowledge.”

Andy Roberts took over Crown Cars in 2016, although the taxi business has been established since 1983.

Recent media attention on Wrexham has benefited the company, Roberts said. This is thanks to Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds’ acquisition of the local football team and its subsequent return to the Football League, documented in the hit TV show ‘Welcome to Wrexham’. Roberts said: “We can see especially on match days that there is more and more work for drivers, and now that the club has been promoted to the football league, we feel more visitors will start to come to the town, which will benefit us, the pubs, hotels and general economy of the town.”
