1. Humble Beginnings

 

Humble Beginnings The story of AS Travels begins with a simple idea and a strong commitment to providing reliable transportation to the local community. Founded by Ammar Saleh, AS Travels started with just one taxi in 2009, serving a small but loyal group of customers in Halesowen. From the outset, the focus was on offering friendly, dependable service that customers could trust.

 

2. Recognising the Need: University Transportation

As Travels began to establish itself, Ammar Saleh noticed a significant demand for transportation services tailored specifically for university students. Students needed reliable, daily transport to get to classes on time and move between their accommodations and campus. Recognising this opportunity, AS Travels expanded its services to include dedicated university transportation.

This strategic move proved to be a turning point. Word spread quickly among students about the reliability and affordability of AS Travels, leading to an influx of new customers and establishing the company as a trusted name in university transportation.

​

3. Expanding Services: Airport Transfers

As the business grew, so did the demand for more specialised services. Customers began requesting airport transfers, particularly during peak travel seasons. In response, AS Travels expanded its offerings to include reliable, punctual airport transfer services.

​

This addition not only met the growing needs of university students but also attracted a wider range of customers, including business travellers and families. 

The new service quickly gained popularity, further enhancing the reputation of AS Travels as a comprehensive transportation provider.

​

4. Diversifying: Private Hire and Wedding Services

With a solid foundation in university transportation and airport transfers, AS Travels looked for new ways to serve its customers. The next logical step was to offer private hire services, catering to those who needed flexible, bespoke transportation solutions.

 

This service was ideal for business trips, family outings, and special occasions.

Recognising the importance of special events, AS Travels also introduced wedding transportation services. Offering elegant and reliable transport for weddings, the company ensured that couples and their guests arrived in style on the big day. This diversification allowed AS Travels to cater to a broader customer base, providing tailored services for any occasion.

​

5. Scaling Up: A Growing Fleet and Nationwide Coverage

As demand for its services continued to rise, AS Travels invested in expanding its fleet. From a single taxi, the company grew to operate a diverse range of vehicles, including minibuses, luxury cars, and spacious vans equipped for group travel. This expansion enabled AS Travels to serve more customers and take on larger contracts, including group bookings and corporate accounts.

​

With a larger fleet, AS Travels extended its reach beyond the local community, offering nationwide coverage. This meant that customers could rely on AS Travels for transportation across the UK, whether they were travelling to a rural destination or a major city.

​

6. Building a Trusted Brand

Over the years, AS Travels has built a reputation for reliability, safety, and customer-centric service. The company's commitment to excellence has earned it a loyal customer base and a strong presence in the transportation industry. AS Travels has grown from a small local business into a well-known and respected brand synonymous with quality transport services.

7. Looking to the Future

Today, AS Travels is more than just a transportation service—it is a trusted partner for students, travellers, and anyone in need of reliable, safe, and comfortable transport. The company's journey from a single taxi to a leading transportation provider is a testament to its dedication, innovation, and customer focus.
