"At the same time I would like to thank Ran for his invaluable contribution over the past year and half and we wish him well for the future."

Mr. Moritz said: "I am delighted to join ECV which has successfully cemented a strong position in the London taxi market due to the increasingly popular Mercedes Vito. I look forward to working with Trevor and the Board at an exciting time for the Group as we look to build for long term growth."
