Colorado Springs Yellow Cab Announces New Management Team Focusing on Community Service, Faster Response Times, Efficiency
Colorado Springs, CO, April 30, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Yellow Cab Company of Colorado Springs has announced the installment of Scott Holisky as the General Manager of the Pikes Peak regional terminal, and Matthew Drew as Director of Marketing.
Mr. Holisky previously served as the terminal’s Operations Manager from 2012-2016, at which time he assumed the responsibilities of General Manager of the company’s Boulder Terminal, which had been declining sharply in revenue and fleet size. During his 10-month tenure in that position, Scott drastically reduced the fleet’s response time, increased the rate of accepted trips by more than double, doubled the number of taxis in the fleet, and very quickly turned a faltering terminal into one of the company’s most profitable and efficient.
Holisky recently returned to the Springs in an elevated capacity in order to accomplish similar objectives by refocusing the fleet’s perspective, first and foremost, on servicing the community to the highest degree possible.
Matthew Drew has assumed the responsibilities of the Colorado Springs terminal’s Director of Marketing. Having previously served in various agency roles for clients such as Chevrolet, McDonald’s, Claritin/Clarinex, and MGM Grand Las Vegas, Drew was most recently the Global Director of Marketing for MGM Hospitality in Las Vegas, China and Vietnam, and brings a hospitality-focused perspective to the taxi business, centered primarily on the customer experience and service delivery.
“It’s a very exciting time to be in the taxi business, especially with so many different channels of engagement at our customers’ disposal,” said Drew.
“Today, we can’t just rely on the phone as the sole means of connecting passengers and cabs. The technology is available to us, so we’re taking full advantage of it,” he said, referring to Yellow Cab’s zTrip mobile app. “So if you have the app on your phone, just tap the screen any time day or night and a car will be on its way. If not, no problem. You can always still call the dispatch line.”
“I’m very excited to be back in Colorado Springs,” Mr. Holisky said. “Yellow Cab has been a part of this community for nearly a century now, and we’ve got a great story to tell – not just as the leading cab company in town, but as employer of administrative and shop staff who’s contributing to the local economy. We’ve also got many full-time drivers who’ve been driving their own businesses with us – some for up to 20 years.”
When considering the future of Yellow Cab in the Springs, Holisky adds that “right now is the best time in history to be in this business, and it’s only getting better. We have some of the best in the country driving for us, and we’re expanding our mobility (wheelchair-accessible) fleet to service literally every aspect of our community even better. We’re also extremely excited about our zTrip app, which is only one of many ways you can book a Yellow Cab.”
