Lloyd Mullaney was the co-owner of Street Cars alongside business partner and good friend, Steve McDonald. Lloyd arrived on Coronation Street in June 2005 as a prospective driver and he and Claire Peacock got a month's trial as taxi drivers at Street Cars. Soon after, Lloyd offered co-owner Dev Alahan £15,000 for his half of the cab firm, and Dev agreed to give it some thought. Dev eventually agreed to sell to Lloyd at a lower price.
