Jon Correia

My name is Jon and I am the owner of LJ's Executive Travel. I live in Chelmsford, Essex with my wife and two children aged 10 and 5. I was born and went to school in Dagenham, Essex. I have a background in professional driving spanning over 14 years from buses, coaches, lorries to fuel tankers.

I then specialised in training future drivers keeping up to date with safe, efficient and compliant driving. I own a Mercedes V Class 300d XLWB that is equipped with beige leather seats, TV with Netflix and Disney, starlight ceiling and fridges for refreshments. Driving is a passion and I take my responsibility in transporting families and individuals to their required destination with care and attention - there isn't a cargo more precious than someone's family.

I have a full clean driving license and an enhanced DBS check.

When I am not driving or maintaining the vehicle, I love to spend time with my wife and children and seeing family and friends. It can be difficult in this industry but we make time where we can. My other interests are watching football and supporting my team, watching Formula 1, cooking and I enjoy go-karting.

I have extensive experience running my own private hire company, managing a fleet of three vans and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the business. My responsibilities includes coordinating drivers and schedules, maintaining vehicles to a high standard, managing client bookings and relationships, and ensuring a reliable, professional service. I have extensive knowledge of London and Essex, with experience driving nationwide on both short- and long-distance routes.

I am highly familiar with route planning, traffic conditions and efficient journey management. I have flexible availability including evenings, weekends and match days.

A key achievement has been building and maintaining a strong and loyal client base through excellent customer service, reliability and consistent standards. I successfully manage the operational and commercial aspects of the business, balancing customer requirements, vehicle maintenance and day-to-day administration while ensuring the company continues to operate efficiently and professionally. I have experience in providing professional, discreet and reliable transportation services for VIP and corporate clients, with a strong focus on punctuality, confidentiality and exceptional customer service.

I have strong timekeeping and communication skills which has enabled me to grow a wide and loyal client base. I am smart, discreet and highly professional.

I am experienced across a range of large commercial vehicles, progressing to fuel tanker operations and later becoming a qualified driver trainer. I developed a strong expertise in safe driving, vehicle handling, compliance and training new drivers to professional standards. I drove for companies such as Greenergy, Reynolds, Certas, DHL, National Express, Ensign and Stagecoach.

I went to school at Robert Clack School in Dagenham, Essex and stayed on to school until the age of 16 where I completed my GCSE's.
