“Becoming a Driver Hire franchisee has absolutely changed our lives”

New and veteran franchisees share how they have been doing since they became their own bosses with the help of Driver Hire

John Griffiths, Driver Hire Taunton franchisee
“Becoming a Driver Hire franchisee has absolutely changed our lives! I’ve gained all the benefits of being self-employed: the opportunity to run and grow our business, the freedom it can bring and the ability to make decisions for ourselves. It’s certainly given me things I wouldn’t have had if I’d stayed employed.”

Gary Riches, Driver Hire Colchester franchisee
“Operating at the £1m turnover mark, naturally I’m looking to grow the business even further to maximise its future sale price. The business has changed my life and my family life considerably compared to being employed. The business affords a good lifestyle, but you must put the work in at the start and have a good team around you to achieve this. It’s been a great move and I love what I do.”

Amanda Jeffries, Driver Hire Wisbech and The Fens franchisee
“Buying my franchise was the best career move I have ever made. I love the systems, quality control and high standards that Driver Hire embraces – follow the model, and it will work. I am very proud to be a Driver Hire franchisee and delighted to have been able to renew my franchise agreement for another five years.”

Diane Maxwell, Driver Hire Belfast franchisee
“I just love the business. I could see the potential and the idea of making it mine was an exciting one. I still feel the same. The big difference I’ve noticed is that, as your own boss, you really cherish success.”

Ed Pockney, Franchisee at Driver Hire Uxbridge
“Whilst the financial side is key, I just enjoy running a Driver Hire franchise. We’ve taken people who were unemployed onto our books and found them full-time jobs. That’s an amazing feeling. I love hearing a client say to me: “‘He’s perfect for the job, can I keep him?’”

Nic Chaviaris, Driver Hire Gatwick franchisee
“I cannot recommend and thank Driver Hire enough for providing me with such an opportunity for a dream career and lifestyle. The support during the process, advice as well as guidance throughout my years with Driver Hire has been a key element to a great working partnership. They have the personable touch, yet a solid national brand that is associated with quality and expertise. Thank you to all at Driver Hire and to anyone thinking about it, don`t miss the opportunity!”
