Overview
Addison Lee is a London-based UK private-hire and urban mobility company whose activities also include business travel and courier delivery. Founded in 1975, it serves individual passengers, corporate clients and users requiring city-based delivery services. Private-hire transport is its core activity, complemented by business travel management, airport transfers and courier services. Publicly available information used here is insufficient to confirm its full ownership structure, latest operating scale or all markets, so this entry retains only the more certain basic facts.
History
Addison Lee was established in the UK in 1975 and developed from a pre-booked private-hire business serving the London market. As corporate demand grew for business transport, airport transfers and managed travel services, the company broadened its activities into corporate mobility and related transport services, and later also operated in courier delivery. The brand is now associated primarily with private-hire, business travel and urban delivery services in London and the wider UK market. The available material does not provide sufficient reliable information about successive management changes, ownership transactions, operating scale or the timing of specific expansions, so no further claims are made.
