Boom, and just like that business travel returns to normal. Two years after the pandemic virtually shut our business, it is like someone released a pause button. It is good to see business travel back in full swing and our job count rapidly increasing. With seventeen years behind us, we have data to compare and analyse what is occurring.


After waiting an age for an upturn, we were in a quandary. We began to entertain a different revenue stream and diversifying. A new entrant in the local chauffeur market seems to be doing well. Their website and social media are popular. We have to remember though, despite bookings falling for two years, DrivenByQ are are still managing significantly higher numbers of bookings than our competition.


How can we be so sure business travel is still the best performing sector? How do we know we have greater volumes than any competition may boast? Well, that is easy. Just look at our VAT registration number. A company only needs a turnover of £1,635 a week to legally require VAT registration and quite frankly, that really doesn’t take much.


Supplying a niche service in business travel has been tough. It has been even tougher seeing other sectors like holiday travel recover quickly. The airports were busy while we were still waiting to get off the ground. Now that business travel is back in full swing however, we are busy providing our service. Not only it is reassuring – it feels absolutely fantastic and we love it!
