Parkers Chauffeurs from Newcastle stood in the spotlight of recognition as they clinched the prestigious award for Quality, Standards & Innovation at the esteemed Professional Driver National Awards.
The vibrant city of Brighton recently played host to a respected gathering of industry stalwarts and chauffeur service providers from across the country at the renowned Professional Driver – Quality Standards and Innovation National Awards. Among the luminaries present was Parkers Chauffeurs from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, a name synonymous with excellence and widely recognised as a leader within the chauffeur industry.
Amidst an atmosphere of camaraderie and celebration, Parkers Chauffeurs proudly walked away with the bronze award in the coveted category of Chauffeur Company of the Year (11+ vehicles). The recognition was a testament to the unwavering commitment of the team at Parkers Chauffeurs to uphold the highest standards of service, innovation, and quality in every aspect of their operations.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Parkers Chauffeurs’ triumph was the company they found themselves in the same category with – large multinational corporations and London-based chauffeur companies. Despite the fierce competition from industry giants, Parkers Chauffeurs’ dedication to excellence propelled them to the forefront, securing them this well-deserved award.
This victory marked a significant milestone for Parkers Chauffeurs, as it was not their first time being recognised at the Professional Driver National Awards. The company had previously clinched the prestigious Gold award twice in the category of Chauffeur Company of the Year (10 vehicles and under), before their success led to their growth and entry into the larger company category. Their consistent prowess in the industry was further underscored by their repeat success, showcasing their enduring commitment to setting the benchmark for chauffeur services nationwide.
In addition to their accolades for service excellence, Parkers Chauffeurs also received recognition for their sustainable practices. Their efforts towards environmental stewardship saw them shortlisted for the Environment Award, a testament to their commitment to sustainability and green initiatives. This recognition was further affirmed by their nomination at the North East Chamber of Commerce Awards in 2023, highlighting their multi-faceted approach to excellence in all of their operations.
As Parkers Chauffeurs continues to set new standards of excellence in the chauffeur industry, their latest triumph at the Professional Driver Awards is not just a reflection of their past achievements but a beacon of the bright future that lies ahead for this exemplary Newcastle-based company. The award highlights their consistent pursuit of growth and aspiration to bring the excellence of their service to a global standard, as proven by their expansion into the USA in 2024 with Parkers Global LLC.
Mark Bursa (Editor, Professional Driver Magazine) said: “The private hire, taxi and chauffeur industry makes an enormous contribution to keeping Britain moving. This year’s Professional Driver QSi Awards recognise those amazing efforts and bring the industry together for a much-needed night of celebration.”
Mark Bursa continued: “The quality and number of the entries grows every year, and it becomes an ever-more difficult task for our judges to pick our winners. Only very good operators made the short list, so we can be sure our Gold, Silver and Bronze winners are among the very best in Britain.”
Congratulations to Parkers Chauffeurs on their well-deserved success, and here’s to many more accolades in the years to come!
