Taxi firm’s tribute to Angel of the North
Dean Taxis Limited are Gateshead’s largest and longest established taxi company still in original ownership.
Established in 1986 on Low Fell, the company has grown significantly over the years and it is now based in prestigious offices on Team Valley, from where its fleet of over 400 vehicles is managed and operated utilising highly sophisticated technology that enables the company to track and monitor in real time the activities of all its working vehicles.
A Dean Taxis spokesman said: “Throughout the years we have delivered our services across Tyneside, Dean Taxis has witnessed many changes, both in terms of the way in which transport is being managed across different authority areas, and the ongoing changes to our infrastructure.
“One of the most pleasing aspects of working as we do in this haven of cultural opportunity we are told, are those times when our drivers travel back to base from a long journey south, when they are greeted by that most welcoming of icons that grace our region.
“The Angel of the North is 20 years old this year and for those of us who have been around during this period, there is nothing more pleasing to the eye than the statuesque figure that adorns our landscape and welcomes us back with open arms.
“The Angel welcomes you and Dean Taxis thanks you our customers, young and old. Here’s to the next 20 years.’
