Established in 2018, our chauffeur business is built on over 25 years of professional driving experience and a passion for delivering exceptional service. I'm a proud father to my son James, and when I'm not behind the wheel or in the office, you'll find me enjoying sports—whether watching or playing whenever time allows. With a commitment to reliability, comfort, and a personal touch, I’ve shaped this business to reflect the values that matter most.
Since launching our chauffeur business with my husband in 2018, I’ve brought over 30 years of experience in finance and IT to help shape a service that’s as reliable behind the scenes as it is on the road. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and when I’m not working, I’m usually accompanied by our goofy Golden Retriever—my constant, tail-wagging shadow.
In 2008, during the recession, I joined the Irish Navy as a gunner. Demonstrating a commitment to professional development, I pursued a BSc in Paramedicine and concluded my 12-year naval career as a paramedic.
Following my time in the Navy, I transitioned to working for a private military company in Iraq on a demining contract. In 2019, I moved to the UK and became a Firefighter with Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service and since 2022, I've also been working with Hampshire Executive Chauffeurs.
I am now retired after 33 years within the emergency services working for Hampshire Police and The Fire Service – I now enjoy my time off and working Part-Time for HEC.
I spent over 30 years as a graphic and website designer. Covid meant a change in direction. Worked as a Stevedore for ABP. A driver for Enterprise Flex-e-Rent and for a local BMW Dealership as a Driver Supervisor and for Snows Motor Group as Fleet Sales Support at their Prep Centre ensuring new cars were onsite and fully prepared for customer delivery and handover. I take great provide in delivering a fantastic client experience.
I’m a retired Police officer, having completed several nationally recognised driving courses during my service. In my third year with HEC, I enjoy meeting a wide variety of clients and safely conveying them during the many different journeys undertaken throughout the UK.
