Technical Blog - Happy Families in the Taxi World!

Bent Labour Sandwell Council are trying to give over £22m worth of SEND contracts to two firms controlled by Azeem Hafeez (blogs passim ad nauseum and see legal notice below). The firms are County Cars (2003) and North Birmingham Travel.

Just for the record, Azeem is the son of ex- Labour Councillor, Mahboob Hussain, who used to run Five Star Taxis and Minibuses Limited with Abdul Qayyum (not to be confused with Abdul Naeem Quyum of Boggate infamy). Abdul is still a Director.

There is a similarly named-company Five Star Taxis (Dudley) Limited whose accounts are nearly four months overdue according to Companies House:


Companies House records show just one Director, Ohmair Qayyum, who is believed to be the son of Abdul Qayyum. He gives the same address as Abdul and if you look carefully enough at the Company House records you will see that both Abdul and Omar were original subscribers to the Company:


But Ohmair is a busy chap since he is also the sole director of Castle Cars (Dudley) Limited:


Meanwhile Azeem's North Birmingham Travel has a Public Service Operator Licence. It is pre-condition to obtaining this type of licence that the Company has a "Transport Manager". Happily his duties at his other firm's can't be too onerous since the Gov.UK website names Ohmair Qayyum as filling that position:


Incidentally, one of the bases used by North Birmingham Travel will be well-known to Skidder readers from exclusives in 2014 and 2015:


Back in the day this site was owned by a Mr Quyam and, wait for it, Abdul Quyyam (same address as the Abdul Quyyam above in Dudley). These gents put in a plamming application to build flats on the site was which was duly provided by bent Labour Sandwell Council. But the chaps got greedy and put in a new application for a much bigger project. Unfortunately, various statutory agencies then objected and the application failed! Oops!

One person who ran a business from the address was Azeem Hafeez. And a curious thing happened when there was a mysterious fire at the property since a police officer was sent off to find the registered keyholder. No, not Mr Quyyam in Dudley but a Mr Mahboob Hussain of McKean Road, Oldbury!

(Bizarrely Castle Cars and Five Star Taxis and Minibuses employ the same Transport Manager, a Mr Ali.)

Five Star Taxis and Minibuses and Castle Cars put in bids for the new SEND contract and got through the first stage. I am sure that there must have been very solid "Chinese Walls" in place to ensure that confidential information was kept away from Omhair Quyyam at North Birmingham Travel and so that there was no "leakage" within the tendering process. It would have been unfortunate if ANY party which got through did the old Sandwell Labour Party fraud of having related parties make fake and unachievable bids so that a favoured one "shines out" for approval (helped along by bent staff in the corrupt paid service), but puppet Labour leader Cllr Ragbir Singh is seemingly claiming (without providing the evidence) that everything was above board. We can all rest easy in our beds and hope that the interconnected firms all prosper from their close ties.

(Incidentally, Cllr Wasim Ali must be greatly enjoying his honeymoon since he missed a second Cabinet meeting last night where bent Labour had to extend the current SEND contract whilst they figure out how to force the Azeem deals through. This saved Wasim from having to declare an interest although, of course, he srongly denies that he has any connection with Mahboob Hussain and Azeem Hafeez).
