History

Aqua Cars were formed from City Cars when the company changed from Hackney to Private Hire in 1984.
Still at the address of Somers Road it changed hands a number of times until the present owners, Ronnie and Barry Leng, bought it in June 1990. At that time only 16 cars in total.

The company enjoyed a steady growth and by 1994 it had reached 70 vehicles. Business was good and daily total was around 1,600 jobs. It was at this time that the brothers started looking for a Computerised Booking & Despatch System. After looking at different companies and how they worked, they finally decided on the Auriga System. This was installed in April 1994.

The effect was immediate. The efficiency of the system and the ability to be able to take more calls was a benefit to customers and drivers alike.

Both brothers have continued to invest in the company and this is shown by the present growth of 500+ vehicles. It is an ethos they continue to work to.
