About Grand Executive Chauffeurs
Not every chauffeur company starts the same way.
Umair Shehzad was a student in Birmingham when he made his first booking. Not as a client but as the driver. A live hire. Someone needed a car, Umair was there, and the journey went well.
That is how this started.
Not with a business plan. Not with a fleet of ten vehicles and a registered company. With one booking, one car, and a student who understood that showing up on time and treating a client properly was worth more than any marketing budget.
That was 2018. Seven years later, Grand Executive Chauffeurs operates 10 vehicles across Birmingham and the West Midlands, with 12 professional drivers and over 170 five-star reviews.
The job is the same as it was on that first booking. Get there early. Do it properly. Leave nothing to chance.
Why Umair Started Grand Executive Chauffeurs
Birmingham is a city that runs on ground transport. Millions of passengers through BHX every year. The NEC is hosting 500 events. JLR, NEXT, QE Hospital, and the University of Birmingham have thousands of executives, consultants, and professionals moving across the city every day.
Most of them took whatever showed up first.
Umair saw what a professional service, a genuinely professional service, not just a car with a driver, could do for someone who needed to arrive composed, on time, and without surprises.
He built that service. Quietly. One client at a time. From Sparkhill, Birmingham, where Grand Executive Chauffeurs is still registered today at 124 Woodlands Road, B11 4ET.

Grand Executive Chauffeurs Ltd
is registered at Companies House under company number 16754644. Incorporated in Birmingham. Operating across the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, and beyond.
12 professional drivers
Every one of them enhanced DBS checks before their first booking. Every one of them professionally presented. Every one of them trained to the standard that Umair set on that first live hire in 2018.
10 vehicles.
Mercedes S-Class, E-Class, and V-Class — maintained, presented, and ready. Every vehicle meets Birmingham City Council private hire licensing requirements. Full commercial insurance on every run.
170+ five-star reviews
Not collected overnight. Built across seven years of airport runs at 4am, corporate transfers to Colmore Row, wedding mornings in the Jewellery Quarter, and match-day collections at Villa Park.
Every review represents a client who trusted us with a journey that mattered to them.
What Has Not Changed Since 2018
The first booking Umair ever made was a live hire. Someone needed a car. He showed up. He was on time. The client was looked after.
That is still the standard on every booking Grand Executive Chauffeurs takes today.
Fixed price before you confirm. Name the driver before you travel. The driver departs early, not on time but early. Meet and greet in arrivals. Luggage taken. 60 minutes of free waiting time from actual touchdown.
These are not policies written by a management team. They are habits formed by a founder who drove the first jobs himself and knew exactly what a client needed to feel when they got in the car.
Umair does not run every journey anymore. But every driver who works under the Grand Executive Chauffeur’s name has been trained to the same standard.
Based in Birmingham. Built for Birmingham.
Grand Executive Chauffeurs is registered in Sparkhill, one of Birmingham’s most established communities, a mile from the city centre on the A34 Stratford Road.
This is not a national brand with a Birmingham office. This is a Birmingham company, founded by someone who grew up understanding the city, its roads, its rhythms, and its people.
The A45 at 5am before BHX. The M42 at Junction 6 when the NEC is running three simultaneous shows. Trinity Road before a Villa Park European night. Pershore Road on a Test match morning at Edgbaston.
We know these routes because we drive them. Every week. Every season.
