Established more than 20 years ago, and since then, the company has developed its presence and reputation as the leading executive travel provider in the North of England, by continuing to listen and adapt its services for the ever-changing needs of its clients.
The current owners, husband and wife team, Laurence and Gemma Beck have worked in the transport and B2B industry for many years. Since the takeover three years ago they have rapidly expanded the business and its fleet offering, all amidst a Pandemic too. Teamwork is a very important part of their business ethos, each member of staff is valued and works collaboratively to keep standards at their highest throughout the organisation, providing a quality service that goes above and beyond at the forefront of everything they do. They really do care about the little details!
Within the last year Parkers Executive Chauffeurs have been awarded two National Awards: Silver in Chauffeur Company of the Year and a Bronze Award for Environmental. Both within the Professional Driver QSI (Quality, Standards, Innovation) Awards, which is the main award for the entire chauffeur industry throughout the UK. An outstanding achievement for the Parkers team!
Parkers Executive Chauffeurs are committed to continuous professional development for their team and have some of the most highly trained Chauffeurs within the UK. With these unique skills they have rapidly become known as ‘Convoy Specialists’ offering a much higher level of skill than most Chauffeurs, to their VIP clients. They are often required to travel in convoy with a Police escort and have been privileged to be asked to transport Royalty, Presidents, World Leaders, and many more during the COP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.
An office window with the view of a luxurious private jet landing is provided most days for their Chauffeurs, with the exhilaration of being airside with private jets and helicopters coming into the private airfield at Newcastle.
They transport many High Net Worth individuals and thrive on the high level of expectations set upon them. Their clients always come back time and time again and often comment that the service they provide is far superior to any previous chauffeur experiences they’ve had.
Going above and beyond with the service they provide is not the only attribute Parkers Executive Chauffeurs holds high. They have made huge commitments to sustainability and saving our planet. They were the first chauffeur company within the UK to offset their entire carbon footprint by planting trees within a government assured scheme, The Woodland Trust. They have now also made huge investments into updating their fleet with hybrid and electric luxury vehicle options.
Their current greener fleet boasts an exquisite hybrid Range Rover Autobiography and two Mercedes Benz electric EQV 6 seaters. They also have an order in for a highly sought after, brand new top of the range, Mercedes Benz EQS. They’re very committed to helping other businesses offset some of their own carbon footprint by using their services too. They own an extensive fleet of vehicle options but whether you choose to opt for their electric/hybrid vehicles or the more traditional Diesel engines you can be assured your entire journey will be carbon neutral. Helping to save the planet one mile at a time!
It’s in the hearts and minds of Parkers owners that they want to help local charities and give something back to their community. NE Youth is at the forefront of the offering for their support, they provide opportunities for local young people to engage in a diverse range of activities and programmes that enable them to be involved, enjoy and achieve. Parkers also strongly support a local cricket club with adult and youth cricket teams alongside many other donations to local clubs and events.
