Tristar Limited has been acquired by Addison Lee Ltd
Octopus Ventures Limited has sold Tristar Limited to Addison Lee Ltd. for an undisclosed consideration.
Tristar provides chauffeur services. It offers airport transfer and ground support services for international events, hospitality programs, conventions, and corporate and financial road shows. It has more than 200 staff and over 450 drivers. The company has headquarters on three different continents and a multitude of regional centers across Europe, North America and Asia.
