The SPHA Mission

The Scottish Private Hire Association (SPHA) is the leading trade body for licensed private hire drivers in Glasgow. We form a powerful collective voice to represent the concerns of our members while working to improve the private hire trade and to defend the livelihoods of drivers.

The SPHA is at the forefront of a growing movement of private hire drivers coming together to achieve positive changes for the trade. By advocating for the industry at government and council levels, our team has successfully lobbied for the positive reform of many licensing policies.

Our mission is to drive positive reforms in the private hire trade and to seek improvements to the licensing regime.  In doing so, the SPHA consults and engages with other trade stakeholders, with the council and licensing department, with the Scottish Government, and with Police Scotland.

We also act to protect the private hire licences of our members by providing representation at licensing hearings and enforcement checks.
