A spokesman said the new customer and digital service roles will be a key part of Addison Lee’s customer service delivery. The firm does not plan to operate its taxis in Peterborough.

The official opening will be carried out by North West Cambridgeshire MP Shailesh Vara who will be accompanied by Addison Lee’s chief executive Andy Boland.
