Wickford sits in our home district, minutes from base. Serving Wickford, Runwell, Shotgate and Ramsden Heath — with the vehicle prepared a short drive from your door.
— No. 01 · Chauffeur Service in Wickford
Wickford sits in the Basildon district, a short distance from our base in Laindon. That proximity matters more than it sounds: the vehicle is prepared minutes away, there is no out-of-area charge, and a pre-dawn collection does not require anyone to have set off an hour earlier than necessary.
Travel in Style Essex provides private chauffeur transport across Wickford, Runwell, Shotgate, North Benfleet and Ramsden Heath — airport transfers, cruise transfers, weddings, executive travel and evenings out. Every journey is conducted personally by Jamie Gifford.
Southend Airport is around twenty-five minutes away on the A127 and A1245, making it the cheapest departure available. Stansted is roughly forty minutes on the A130 and M11; Heathrow around an hour and a half via the M25; London City about forty-five minutes. Each is a fixed fare from your address.
For Wickford households sailing from Tilbury, the London Cruise Terminal is about thirty-five minutes down the A13 — close enough that a chauffeured return is usually cheaper than leaving a car in the port compound for a fortnight.

— No. 03 · How a Journey Unfolds
Your booking is confirmed in writing within the hour. We note your flight number, terminal, passenger count, and any particular requirements — luggage, accessibility, or a preference for a quieter cabin.
From the moment of confirmation, your flight is placed under continuous monitoring. Delays, gate changes, and early arrivals are absorbed without conversation — the schedule adjusts quietly.
The vehicle is cleaned, fuelled, and prepared personally. Refreshments are arranged. A confirmation message is sent when your chauffeur is en route.
For outbound journeys, the car arrives at your address ahead of schedule. Luggage is loaded. Your route has been planned — alternatives identified. There is nothing left to arrange.
For inbound journeys, your chauffeur is present in the arrivals hall from the moment your flight lands — name board in hand. Waiting time for delayed flights is included at no charge.

— 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 Airport · 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."
