\n StarCars was founded by Paul Gannon from Billinge after he saw a gap in the market to offer only Gold Standard drivers, with a quick booking system. They are also delivering mental health training for drivers in St Helens and surrounding areas.\n<\/p>\n

\n The 44-year-old said: \u201cEveryone needs to know they feel safe and supported when they get in a taxi, we offer mental health training to all our drivers and we are securely booked so people know who is getting them with all the details of the driver – who are all from St Helens.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey can feel safe and secure and honestly I think that\u2019s why we have a celebrity following already; we have an active social media page so people can see we\u2019ve picked up the likes of Mel, C, and her mum, Johnny Vegas, Kerry Katona, Katie Price, Chris Hughes from Big Brother and they\u2019ve all been really happy with the service.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI wanted to bring something different to St Helens, and after speaking to Chris Hughes about it he explained how important it is to be open and honest about mental health struggles.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI\u2019ve suffered with anxiety, and I know he has and lots of people do, you can spend quite a bit of time being driven around in a taxi, and having gold standard rated drivers trained to listen to you and have the security that it\u2019s a secure booking will ease any anxiety I think.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI\u2019m excited to see what the future will bring. We\u2019ve already taken on more drivers and I\u2019m really happy with how its all going. Watch this space.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
