point of sale ..... point of sale .. SUCCESS FOR VOYAGER MPV
WHAT IS KABBEE™?
With the Private Hire and Taxi Monthly exhi- bition over for another year, I’m sure all those who visited the Ricoh Arena will agree that, as always, the PHTM team did a great job - not least leading taxi manufacturer Voyager MPV Ltd. Voyager, who occupied stand A (just through the main entrance), saw another successful year with record sales and enquiries across their entire range of wheelchair accessible taxis and minibuses.

We hope that you got a chance to visit the PHTM show and of course Voyager on stand A (if not, check out some of the images on their website).
