Going that extra mile at Trinity Walk, Wakefield...
Angermann, Goddard & Loyd Director Mark Talbot went beyond the call of duty in pushing the deal with Pulp, the alternative clothing and music merchandise store, over the line at Trinity Walk, Wakefield, by setting up his own taxi firm.
Racing to let the unit ahead of the 6th May launch, Talbot spent two hours persuading Halifax taxi firms to collect the legal documents from Pulp’s CEO’s house for delivery to Pulp’s Nottingham based lawyers before the end of play on Friday 8th April. £100 transferred directly from his personal account later, the journey begin.
Unfortunately, traffic led to delays, and the Pulp lawyers went home. Undeterred, Talbot transferred another £120 across and diverted the taxi across to his Client’s Birmingham based lawyers, Wragge & Co. More delays led to a final diversion to Wragge partner Toby Askin’s own house, where the deal was finally done at 7.45pm.
To celebrate Talbot’s tenacity, Askin duly printed 1,000 Talby’s Taxi cards, and distributed them throughout Wakefield the night before the Centre opened. Talbot’s mobile duly ‘went ballistic’.
