— No. 01 · Private Chauffeur in Southend-on-Sea
Southend-on-Sea occupies a particular position in Essex — a coastal town with character, increasingly appreciated for its independent restaurants, its proximity to London, and a seafront that on a clear evening is among the finest in the south-east. It is a place that has always attracted people who know what they like.
Travel in Style Essex serves Southend, Westcliff-on-Sea, and Leigh-on-Sea with the same standard we apply across the county — the unhurried welcome, the door opened precisely as you arrive, the journey composed with intention. Airport transfers from Southend require slightly longer routing, and we account for this in both pricing and planning.
London Southend Airport sits within close proximity and is quoted upon request. For all five major London airports — Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and London City — we provide private transfers from any Southend address, with live flight monitoring, meet-and-greet, and all waiting time included.

— No. 05 · From Those Who Have Travelled With Us
"I booked as a 60th birthday treat for my husband — Thailand for Christmas and his birthday. I wanted him to arrive in style, and that is exactly what happened. Jamie loaded our bags, gave us a tour of all the facilities, and a gorgeous bottle of bubbly was on ice waiting for us. Chatty but not intrusive. Polite and funny. Very professional."
Marrianne Mason · Verified Facebook Review · January 2025
"Reliable, punctual and friendly service. We were going on a 40th birthday trip and all the little extras certainly made it even more memorable. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. First class service."

— Southend-on-Sea · Your Chauffeur
Travel in Style Essex is not a fleet operation. There is one chauffeur: Jamie Gifford, who founded the service in 2019 and has conducted every journey personally since. When you make an enquiry, you speak to Jamie. When you are collected, it is Jamie at the door.
He holds an advanced RoSPA driving qualification, a clean PCO licence, and a DBS certificate. He drives as he attends to everything else — with composure, without hurry, and with the particular care of someone who takes pride in his work.
"The standard I hold myself to is simple: I ask whether I would be comfortable if the people I most respect could see exactly what I was doing and why. The answer is always yes."
