Prestigious Chauffeurs...

Being a chauffeur is often a lifetime commitment. Chauffeurs are a measure of wealth, class and sophistication and therefore it is important that they are loyal, punctual, composed and competent.

It is often believed that the wealth and standing of people within society is not measured by the amount of money and wealth they have, but by the way they show off this wealth.

The theory therefore goes, that by having an opulent house, a score of hired help and a chauffeur driven limousine, you are then considered wealthy and accepted into the upper classes of society. This theory is Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class and it is this theory, along with the many wealthy people who would never consider driving themselves anywhere, that makes the role of the chauffeur such a significant one.

Chauffeurs are more than just hired help. They build up a relationship with their employer and don their smart uniform day in and day out because they know that their efforts are appreciated and necessary; the employer leaves a handsome bequest for the chauffeur in his will in return for the loyal service and the chauffeur-client privilege. 

The chauffeur’s job is also to make their employer look good, which goes back to the theory that you aren’t really rich unless you can prove it by surrounding yourself with expensive possessions. A chauffeur is an indicator of success and anyone with a limousine and a chauffeur will want to show them off.

But to be able to show off your chauffeur and limousine you have to be sure they are top class. Top class chauffeurs are intuitive and responsive; you could witness this outside any hotel or restaurant where the wealthy and powerful ‘lunched’. The chauffeurs would wait for hours and be ready at the precise moment their employer stepped out of the hotel, to meet him at the curb at just the right moment.

Top class chauffeurs have the tact of a butler combining service, intuition and initiative. It is a skill learned over time and honed with each new employer.
