Chauffeur service marks birthday with new addition to its fleet
A SHEPSHED-based chauffeur service which specialises in airport transfers and business travel celebrated its 35th trading year last Wednesday (September 4) with a very special addition to the company fleet.
MovementsUK is taking the lead in a move to offer its corporate customers an environmentally friendly business travel option with the fully electric Tesla Model X. This new arrival forms part of a series of shifts reduce the company’s carbon footprint whilst maintaining the highest level of customer comfort during travel.
Established in 1984, MovementsUK opened its first premises in Barrow-upon-Soar with the original Ford Cortina.
Now the successful business operates a fleet of 17 cars and 25 chauffeurs that service leading local businesses for their airport transfer and business travel requirements.
Founder and managing director, Bill Cregeen said: “35 years is a real milestone for the business. I couldn’t have done it without the help of an amazing team, and I’ve been fortunate to work alongside some great people over the years. Customers have also been responsible for pushing things along and making sure we stay ahead of the competition.
“We’re looking forward to hearing what our customers and colleagues think about the new vehicle and the fact we’ve chosen what is described by many motoring organisations as ‘The safest SUV in the world’”.
The business has aspirations to double its current fleet size in the next 10 years with the vision of being 100% zero emissions by 2025. In the last 12 months the chauffeur team has seen dramatic growth in order to manage increased demand and that growth will only continue. Currently the business is seeking chauffeurs to cover five new positions.
