DG Group moves south with strategic acquisition of Arrow Taxi Group

Nottingham-based DG Group has expanded into southern England with the strategic acquisition of Worthing-based Arrow Taxi Group.

The company, which is unrelated to Leeds-based Arrow Cars, is a family-run business which has been under the same ownership for the past 29 years. The deal adds 250 cars to DG Group’s fleet and expands the group’s operations into a new part of the country.

Arrow Taxi Group has a strong reputation for serving its local communities, and DG said in a statement that this “alignment of core values” would allow Arrow Taxi Group to play a pivotal role in supporting DG Group’s airport operations.

Arrow Taxi Group will maintain its operational independence, with the existing management team retained, which DG said was “a testament to DG Group’s respect for the unique strengths and identity that Arrow Taxi Group brings to the transportation landscape”.

This acquisition follows DG Group’s successful addition of Stanningley Cars in West Yorkshire in June 2023, and follows from major deals with CamCab of Cambridge and Leeds-based Arrow Cars, which serves Leeds-Bradford, East Midlands and Bristol Airports.
