I was always told growing up that being a private driver was a “man’s job”. It was this stereotype that made me want to do the role even more. I joined Chelmsford towards the end of 2018. As a young female and a member of the Chelmsford Escorts community, I feel at home working for this company. I’ve always struggled opening up about who I am and it’s only since working in the private driver role, that I feel I can truly be myself.

Elizabeth tells us how she thinks women have an easier time than males in her profession. She says that she has received the odd sexist comment, but feels that male drivers are the ones who receive the most hostility from passengers. “My brother is a cab driver,” she explains, “and I know the abuse he can encounter”. Perhaps the reason behind this is that customers feel more comfortable and trusting being driven by a woman.

Charlotte says that private driving is perfect for any person who wants to experience something different every day, and especially for those who love coming home with a good story. All of the women we met have a star-studded-name-drop list including mega movie stars Jude Law, Ralph Fiennes, and Dame Judy Dench, artists such as Noel Gallagher, Brian Ferry, and even sporting legend George Best. “You get to meet the most fascinating people,” she explains, and then preceded to tell us about how Joss Stone’s puppy had a mishap in her cab, so Charlotte made us clear it up before realising who she was.

I have a great interest in the different service industries, one of them being the female chauffeur industry. I’d describe myself as a hardworking and passionate female private driver with 10+ years of good driving record. I have driven many different types of vehicles including cars, vans, buses, and trucks. I thought it looked like an interesting field to work in, so I took the exam, received my necessary licenses and began driving my first customers.

For me, Chelmsford Escorts has a hugely diverse workforce with people from all different backgrounds. It’s great to be judged on what I do rather than who I am. I think it’s important for everyone to know that they can be themselves at work and I hope my experiences encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. I am happy to be your private female driver today!

I applied to work at Chelmsford Escorts & Guards because I needed a stop-gap, but this role has been so much more than that. It is a fantastic opportunity to meet all different kinds of people and feel a real sense of community. From the outside, the private driver job looks very male-centred however there is nothing that you cannot do if you’re smaller or shorter – even if you are a girl! For me, the wonderful thing about it is no matter how challenging my day was, I still go home happy. I couldn’t ask for more.”
