Little’s Chauffeur Drive Expands With Aberdeen Acquisition


ree

Family-owned business, Little’s Chauffeur Drive has announced its expansion into the Aberdeen market through the acquisition of Vigilant Chauffeur Services.


This strategic acquisition brings together two highly respected names in the industry and marks an exciting new chapter. Whilst Little’s has supported clients in Aberdeen for nearly 60 years through its established operations in Glasgow and Edinburgh, this move represents a significant local investment – including the introduction of a dedicated fleet based in the North East.

Vigilant Chauffeur Services (Vchauffeur) has built a strong reputation for exceptional service and local expertise. To ensure a smooth transition and maintain the high standards both companies are renowned for, Little’s will work closely with Vchauffeur Director, Mark Cochrane, over the next year. His in-depth knowledge of the local market and long-standing client relationships are expected to be instrumental in further developing Little’s presence in Aberdeen and the surrounding areas.


With this acquisition, Little’s will now offer its full suite of award-winning services directly from Aberdeen, and clients – both new and existing – can expect 24/7 access to a world-class service, not only in Scotland, but across the UK and internationally.


Heather Matthews, Managing Director of Little’s Chauffeur Drive, said:

"This acquisition is a great step forward for both businesses, combining strengths to enhance our service in Aberdeen. As we near Little’s 60th anniversary, it reflects our continued growth as a proud family business with a strong heritage and commitment to excellence."

Mark Cochrane, Director of Vchauffeur, commented:


"After an exciting five-year journey building the Vchauffeur brand and reputation, our recent acquisition by Little’s made perfect sense. We share the same principles of providing our clients with exceptional service, discretion, and professionalism. I now look forward to working closely with Little’s to further develop and enhance their presence within the North East of Scotland."
