An exciting opportunity has arisen to acquire Pink Passenger Minibus Hire, a well-established and reputable private hire and specialist transport business based in Warrington, Cheshire.
Established in 2009, the business has developed an excellent reputation for reliability, professionalism and high-quality transport services, benefiting from long-standing customer relationships, repeat bookings and valuable contracted work.
The owners have recently invested a further £25,000 in two newer vehicles, replacing older vehicles as part of an ongoing fleet modernisation programme. The business now operates with a fleet of six vehicles, including a dedicated maintenance van, providing an established operational base for an incoming purchaser.
A significant highlight is the recent securing of three contracts over the next three years, generating a combined £147,000 in annual revenue. Importantly, this contracted income is separate from additional revenue generated through ad hoc private hire and the popular party bus services.
There is also the possibility of securing a fourth contract, presenting further opportunities for growth.
The business benefits from an experienced team, competitive yard rental costs and favourable insurance arrangements, with insurance costs paid in full until September 2027.
With its established reputation, upgraded fleet, secured contracts and multiple revenue streams, Pink Passenger Minibus Hire represents an attractive opportunity for an existing transport operator or an ambitious individual looking to enter the sector.
Established in 2009 and operated by the current owners since inception, Pink Passenger Minibus Hire has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable, professional and flexible transport solutions.

Core activities include:
Contracted school transport
Ad hoc private hire
Executive and party travel
Wheelchair-accessible transport services
The business has established relationships with Warrington Borough Council, including contracts previously confirmed as running through to 2027 and 2028, alongside long-term school transport arrangements.
