In regards to article about Impact and HTC Group [routeone/News/16 January], just some clarification from within the Group.
The article is correct, but private hire was only a small part of Impact’s work, and loss making, so wouldn’t stand the investment needed to meet ULEZ.
80% of the business was contracts, and we’ve already won more new contract work than we’ve lost through private hire.
So for the avoidance of doubt, it’s a bigger company now, and growing, carrying on in the same place with mostly the same team, but will just be trading as HCT Group in the future rather than Impact.
