Martyn will play a key role in meeting the company’s aggressive growth goals as well as building on the firm’s outstanding reputation for service.

Attracting someone of Martyn’s caliber into the business is a great endorsement of our strategy and ambition. It’s a very challenging time for the taxi industry so it’s critical we build a highly experienced team to pull through and come out the other side stronger.”

   Martyn Hambley added: “I’m excited to join Sherbet both because of its purpose lead mission, which I’m personally passionate about, but also because of this pivotal moment in time for the world-famous Black Taxi Industry.  Not only is the iconic Black Taxi now Electric but in the current pandemic, it is clearly the safest way for Londoner’s to travel. Asher is a visionary and I’m excited to help him and the Sherbet team make it happen.”

6. Rent Sherbet Electric Taxis On Demand

   October 27, 2020 12:05 pm Comments Off on Rent Sherbet Electric Taxis On Demand

   

    

   We’re delighted to announce our new service ‘Sherbet On Demand’

   Due to the difficulties we have all faced recently, we have taken the opportunity to relook at the traditional taxi rental model, and have decided it is time to offer an alternative.

   An alternative that allows for flexibility, agility to change at short notice and the opportunity for our Drivers to create the ‘shift’ framework that works for them – in the new climate.

   Our new service allows drivers to rent when they need to, whether it is one shift a week, or a duration of six weeks – our on-demand rental taxis will be ready when you are. Conveniently located, fully charged, and ready to go.

   Email shift@sherbetlondon.com to register your interest.

   Why rent per shift?

More drivers are looking to reduce hours and as such, they feel they are unable to afford to rent an electric taxi, this way electric taxis are available for everyone irrespective of work pattern, shift, or budget level.

   We use the Electric LEVC TXE.

   What Shifts are available?

   You are free to book as many as you wish, a price discount will be available should you book a double shift.

   How do I book?
   To start, we will allocate you with via your rental coordinator, you can talk directly and book the shifts you need.

8. Increasing Commuting/Travel Data

   September 30, 2020 10:50 am Comments Off on Increasing Commuting/Travel Data

   

   According to new data presented by The Guardian in the above graph, road traffic levels across outer London areas are now far higher than this time last year. The difference in traffic congestion compared with 2019 aligns with Sherbet’s recent Intelligent Telematics data which captures commuting and travel taxi movements and Sherbet Ride journey trends.

   

   Sherbet owns our inventory, so we can offer a unique and effective advertising ROI with the right geography layering and up-to-date insight data. We track and report every taxi as it delivers a campaign through Intelligent Telematic journey data, digital photo recording, and GPS tracking. In particular, we’ve recently observed that our Geofence mapping journey movement data within key outer London hotspot areas such as Wandsworth, Putney, Clapham, Chelsea, Harrow, Hounslow, Walthamstow, and Ilford is increasing significantly across the last few weeks. This indicates that people are moving around the capital differently within the current climate. Taxis go where people go – the demand + geography reflect the demographic movements within our new norm.

   The numbers of coverage across these outer London areas of focus are constantly increasing every day. Additionally, they mirror the Sherbet app journeys we are currently running including regular school runs, hospital appointments, film companies transporting crew and talent, business and corporate accounts journeys, airport transfers, and secure courier services.

   

   A recent YouGov data (shared every 2 weeks) which analyses differentials in terms of behavioural changes and trends indicate that city workers and ABC1 audiences living in outer London areas favors taxi as a mode of transport, often noticing advertisments on taxis and they agree that OOH has helped them to become aware of new products and services.

   Similarly, our customer statistics from Sherbet Ride indicate currently, the public prefers to choose Black Taxis over other forms of transport as they are a safer and cleaner way to travel with its purpose-built partition screen separating the driver from the passengers. This trend is very likely to continue making it a perfect opportunity for brands to reconnect and reach their audiences through the taxi advertising medium. Sherbet Media can tailor any campaign to particular needs, budgets, and areas based on journey data delivering transparent ROI and added assurance in this current climate.
