Meet the team

After a long and successful career in Telecommunications in the 1980s, John saw a gap in the chauffeur & automotive travel sector for a company that could offer outstanding customer service combined with an element of luxury travel, and he launched Chauffeur Travel in 1994.

The Company has grown considerably in the last 2 decades after quickly establishing an enviable reputation for providing a top class and very reliable service for senior executives, wedding parties, tour groups and travel to and from events.

Prior to his recent retirement, John was also part of a leadership event team, travelling to different events within the UK for the benefit of a major public communications company.

James spent an enjoyable and fruitful decade in management within the construction industry gaining experience by working on a variety of interesting projects within the UK.

Moving into the family business eight years ago, James was initially tasked with business development and he has grown the Chauffeur Travel clientele and brand reputation considerably.

I began my career as a heating engineer and plumber before moving into retail where I progressed to the role of Assistant Manager. Working in this environment, I developed excellent communication skills and enjoyed interacting with customers, some of whom were police officers who encouraged me to consider a career in law enforcement.

After five years in retail, I successfully applied and was accepted to join the police service. During my tenure, I served the public with pride, qualified as a police law trainer, and became an advanced police driver. Outside the police service, my skills and experience led to opportunities working with events teams including transporting players at golf and tennis tournaments, as well as VIP assignments and looking after a CEO at a TV Studio.
I also trained as a Rolls Royce driver, which allowed me to work in Germany and another company accepted me as a VIP driver at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

I obtained my chauffeur licence in 2013 and have since had the pleasure of representing Chauffeur Travel, assisting with numerous bookings and events. I take great pride in providing a comfortable and professional experience in my Mercedes S-Class and I greatly value the positive feedback I receive from clients both of my standard of driving and the comfort of my car.

Outside of work, I have been playing the guitar since 1975 and in my spare time, my latest project involves learning famous lead guitar solos.

I left school in 1988 to join Lloyds Bank at 17, working my way from the waste room to assistant manager’s assistant — a customer‑focused role handling daily queries and support.

In 1994 I joined Avon and Somerset Police, spending most of my 30‑year career as a response officer in Bristol. Promoted to Sergeant in 2002, I led a team of 20 patrol officers, mentoring new recruits, overseeing investigations, and managing performance. I handled every kind of incident you’d expect, served as a custody and response sergeant, and was trained as both a pursuit and police motorcyclist.

Driving and riding have always been passions of mine. I supervised vehicle accidents, managed the fleet, and joined the Institute of Advanced Motorists.

After moving to Bath Sector in 2020, I retired from policing in 2024. Since then, I’ve enjoyed hands‑on projects with friends, trips to Cornwall, the gym, football, badminton, walking my dog Alfie, and family outings to live music, theatre, and cinema.

Chauffeur Travel Bath lets me combine what I enjoy most — driving and delivering great customer service.
