Richard Moore, aged 37 and Andrew Dawson, aged 36, who first met at Jordanthorpe School, have teamed up to create ROCK Executive Travel Services, or ROCK-ETS, after spotting what they saw as a gap in the market for hire quality executive transportation.

“We have spent about 12 months researching and planning the launch of ROCK”, said Richard Moore.

“We started our research in London and went about finding out what the best and largest companies in the business were able to offer”. In all cases they were streets ahead of what’s on offer in the South Yorkshire, Manchester and Midlands markets”.

ROCK aims to provide everything from simple hire of a car and driver, right through to formal close protection services.
