About Us

York Private Hire Association - Aim

The prime aim of the York Private Hire Association is to represent mutual interests within the trade of both private hire operators and their drivers and to nurture a professional attitude at all times. In order to achieve these aims the YHPA shall:-

• Meet regularly with the necessary Council personnel to discuss common trade issues.
• Relate any issue learnt which is relevant to their business to all membership sectors.
• Offer advice and/ or other assistance, where relevant, to any member with any problem related to their dealings with the authorities or other legal bodies.
• Strive for a safer working environment for all drivers, via a separate sub committee.
• Liase with the York Taxi Association on matters which may be of mutual benefit.
• Keep members up to date with regular bulletins.
• Set in place a system to share information of mutual benefit or interest to all member companies.
• Constantly seek new avenues to enhance its service to all members.

However, the YPHA is at pains to point out to all members that it is a trade association and not a trade union. As such it cannot and will not offer representation in any disputes or other matters which would relate totally within one Company or its driving staff.

Please also note that the YHPA actively encourages fair competition amongst its company members and will not discuss any issue which appears to discourage such competition.
