“In recent months we have had to call upon the Association on countless occasions during vari- ous negotiations with our council. In every single instance the NPHA has dropped what they were doing and devoted their immediate time and attention to helping us resolve our local issues. Their industry knowledge is amazing, and we have been more than glad to have access to their expertise and assistance.” Cllr David Patrick, Wisbech and District Hack- ney Carriage Drivers’ Association
“NALEO is pleased to hear that the NPHA has decided to promote its own website. As you know, NALEO has for many years endeavoured to provide a source of information/contact point. By the NPHA running its own site, the level of information out there must increase overall. Whilst NALEO and the NPHA sometimes have different viewpoints and opinions on matters that arise, it has become apparent over the years that the NPHA and NALEO do share one common aim: common-sense, fair legislation that protects the travelling public, and that enhances the professionalism of the hackney and private hire trades alike.” John Thompson, Hon Secretary, National Asso- ciation of Licensing and Enforcement Officers
“What this Association has done for our trade is immeasurable. Quite apart from all the information they supply about legislation, case law, Government and local regulations, you just know they're in your corner whatever you’re phoning them about. That is why I got involved in delivering industry training: during every stage of my preparation and progress, the NPHA has been extremely supportive.” Liz Wadsworth, Tamworth Travel Services; also VRQ/NVQ/CPC training provider
