Made in Chelsea: Priyesh takes on London South West

Priyesh Patel is a new recruit to Driver Hire’s nationwide franchise network. He’s bought the business operating Driver Hire’s London South West territory which covers all SW postcodes including, among others, Battersea, Chelsea, Fulham, Wandsworth and Wimbledon.

He’s not a stranger to Driver Hire, having worked at Driver Hire Kingston for two years, before deciding it was time to become his own boss. Priyesh developed his initial knowledge of the recruitment industry at the office and executive staff recruiter, Angela Mortimer.

“I’m a people person and recruitment is very much a people industry,” says Priyesh. “During my time working at Kingston I saw that a Driver Hire franchise has the potential to be highly profitable. When you are your own boss, you benefit directly from what you put into the business. That’s why I decided to invest.”
