MANAGEMENT & ADMIN TEAM

John O’Neill

John O’Neill

Founder

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.

Will Hockley

Will Hockley

Chauffeur

Will  started off his working career in the horse racing industry from a young age, which included preparing the horses ready for the big race. Rode as an amateur for a few seasons before deciding that this wasn’t a long-term career.
With this in mind, Will decided to use his expertise in the industry to assist in the transportation of jockeys, trainers and other racing folk to their destinations and extend his experience to those who wished to know about where they were going, for which he loved.
So for the last decade or so, Will has been driving lorries around the country in the agricultural industry.
Still having the desire to be a chauffeur, Will then decided to reach out on the WWW for an opportunity to be able to fulfil this. Coming upon Chauffeur Travel Bath with great recommendations, he decided to try his luck.
With great joy, James decided to hire Will, and here he is.
