Local Taxi service for local people.

** PLEASE READ*** 🙏🏼

As a local run business it is very difficult to compete with larger companies/franchises who spend £1000s in advertising costs and its getting even harder with Facebook as they aren’t showing as many adverts unless your paying.

I would really appreciate it if my friends & customers could help the business by taking 1 minute of your time if you would be kind enough to;

1️⃣ Go to Washington Taxis
2️⃣ Like and Follow the page
3️⃣ Next to the “Follow” option you will see 3 dots ••• click on them
4️⃣ Click 'INVITE FRIENDS’

Thank you ❤️❤️

P.S post pinched from a fellow business everyone help others if you can. It costs you £0 to support a local business through sharing! 👍
