💗🚕 MEET KELLY, ONE OF OUR NEWEST PINK PLATE DRIVERS!

When we launched the 247 Pink Plate Project, we wanted to do more than simply talk about getting more women into the taxi industry.

We wanted to actually make it happen.

And we are. 💗

Meet Kelly, one of the newest drivers to join the 247 team through the Pink Plate Project.

Kelly has always enjoyed driving, but it was the flexibility of becoming a taxi driver that really appealed to her.

“I enjoy being out on the road, going to different places and seeing different areas.”

But for Kelly, it's not just about the driving.

One of the things she's looking forward to most is meeting the thousands of different people who travel with 247 every week.

“I love hearing people's life stories. You can learn so much from the different people you meet.”

She's still in the early days of her new adventure, but she's already enjoying being part of the team.

“It's still early days, but I'm looking forward to becoming part of the 247 team. I've enjoyed everything I've seen so far and I'm excited to see what the future brings.”

And that's exactly what the Pink Plate Project is all about.

New opportunities.
Flexible working.
And a local company supporting them every step of the way.

As the biggest taxi operator serving Hastings, Bexhill and Battle, we believe we have a responsibility to invest in our local communities, create opportunities and help bring more women into an industry where they remain underrepresented.

We're already seeing the results, with our first Pink Plate candidates now getting out on the road, and we'll be introducing you to more of them over the coming weeks. 💗

But we're nowhere near finished.

🚕 Could YOU be next?

If you enjoy driving, like meeting people and want the flexibility to work around your life, we'd love to hear from you.

No taxi experience? No problem.

Our team can guide you through the licensing process, help with training and get you ready for life on the road with 247.

And when you choose 247, you're choosing to work with a genuinely local business that has been moving local people for decades.

💗 Support local.
💗 Work local.
💗 Be part of something local.

A Personal Message from Natasha Scott.

As we celebrate our massive 10th-anniversary festival today at The Oval, I wanted to share an important personal milestone with our incredible community.

After ten unforgettable years, the time has come for me to step down as Chair, and for Anton to step down as Director, as we officially pass the reins of Hastings Pride over to our dedicated committee and the community it was created for.

From our very first community meeting back in 2016 to the vibrant celebration taking place today, our purpose has never wavered: to ensure every LGBTQ+ person in Hastings feels visible, valued, and safe. That is why we promised from day one that Hastings Pride would always remain 100% free to attend. Keeping our gates open to everyone breaks down financial barriers, invites our whole town into one shared space, and builds genuine community where prejudice loses its grip.

Hastings Pride has never belonged to one or two people—it belongs to all of you. It is now time for new voices, new energy, and the next generation to carry this flame forward and shape what the next ten years will look like.

Building this alongside Anton, our passionate committee, and our tireless volunteers has been one of the greatest honours of my life. A massive thank you to our sponsors, performers, emergency services, Hastings Borough Council, our incredible volunteers, and every single one of you who has marched, danced, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us over the past decade.

Pride will always be our sanctuary, our protest, and our celebration.

Thank you for ten wonderful years, Hastings. Look out for each other, dance your hearts out today, and keep standing proud! 🏳️‍🌈💖✨
