We welcome PCO Licensed Owner/Operator Drivers for regular, but occasional, commission based Airport Work.

Please note the following scheme rules:-

We do not operate any local circuits - therefore we do not offer full time positions.

Any operator found soliciting any client first introduced to them by us will be removed from our scheme immediately.
No telephone or mobile numbers are to be given to our clients.
We have an emergency number which is given to clients when they book.
Our Duty Driver Mobile Number will be given to operators on our scheme, just in case they encounter any difficulties.
Our clients are contacted after their journeys to check "all went well" - any operator who receives two bad reports or more in a year will be removed from our scheme.
We pay by cheque, so all operator must have a bank account.
Any operator found to be out-sourcing, or not to be personally performing a job given to them by us, will be removed from our scheme.
We hold those operators responsible for keeping the correct paperwork pertaining to any jobs tendered by ourselves to them.
We check that all the operators we use are currently Licensed by the PCO, or other UK licensing body, and try to keep personal contact with them.
We will however, hold our client reports about operators we use, for inspection by the PCO or Police if we deem it necessary.
We expect the highest standards of conduct at all times.
We expect operators to be smartly dressed when performing jobs for us.

Once you are accepted on our scheme, we will be your best client!

COMPANY BACKGROUND:

The KGC Group is the parent company of LondonAirConnections, flyingpurplepig.co.uk and others.

We are a family run business. Originally set up in the late 1990's in North London, by local drivers, we have changed and developed over the last decade or so into an leading Airport and Cruise Port Private Hire Vehicle Transfer Specialist.

Originally we offered Estate Car services to Retailers Home Deliveries, quickly added to this was our Local Animal Collections Service (the original LAC). This was basically a Pets to Vets Service. Within a year or so, many clients were asking us to take them to the airport too, so LondonAirConnections was born. So successful was this airport service that in 1999 we decided to off-load the Estate Car Service, and the year after we gained two major corporate airport transfer accounts, so we also off-loaded the Local Animals Collections.

In 2006 we opened a new executive style minicab service in North London, thoughtfully called "Cockfosters Car Service". Our office for this was based on the platform concourse in Cockfosters Underground Station, and although a great location - it was noisy, due to a new London Underground Speaker system put in shortly after we opened. Thus this office was not as successful as we had hoped for LondonAirConnections - we simply couldn't hear our clients on the telephone!!! However we succeeded in making a difference in Minicab services in the area, by offering an improved service - other local offices had to raise their game!

In 2007 we opened a new operator call centre in Whetstone for LondonAirConnections.com, leaving Cockfosters Car Service in the Station at Cockfosters. We had found that keeping two separate companies running together at the same time too time-consuming, and found that one was detrimental to the running of the other... basically it was too much for our team to keep going. We had a choice... get management in for one and grow both quickly, or sell one and keep the original family aspect going with the other. We then sold the Cockfosters Cars venture on to a young team of drivers from North London. This office is still up and running today!

Once we sold Cockfosters Cars in 2008, we changed our ethos a little. We had quite a few Travel Agents in the USA and around the world using our services, and we had just started our En-route Tours, so we decided that we would slowly move into the Tourist Trade, rather than target the corporate market - although we don't turn down corporate clients down!

Sensing recession, we also stopped offering 'accounts' in late 2008. Although at first everyone thought we were crazy, "turning down work", but actually in the long run it turned out to be the best move we ever made... no debts, no chasing payments, and most clients happy to pay by credit card because the card company's protected their transfers! Best of all, for our drivers, it also meant... No Scrubs! Even our booking fee to cover the cost was taken well by our understanding clients - we like to think that they knew we were going to offer a great 'family-run' service!

In 2010, we were proved right about accounts, with a number of private hire firms have been forced to close due to bad debts - one went down being owed £1000's which in turn meant it owed it's drivers £100's! Our jobs are pre-paid, so we pay as soon as the job is done!

So, we have experience in most aspects of the trade, small and large minicab circuits, and home and office set-ups etc. But we no longer have any interest in any local circuits, nor have any plans for any in the future. SInce 2009, we have become a small network of individual licensed operator/drivers - we no longer offer work to individual drivers, the paperwork is just too much - particularly for drivers who do monthly insurances etc! It is easier just to Network and Tender work between Licensed Operators, each responsible for their own paperwork.

We have no interest in becoming a larger organization - and although being described as "being ripe for take-over" we have no intention of selling up either.
We have a strong ethos of public safety and service, and employee satisfaction.
We all work together for each other and our clients.
We all work together with the PCO and Transport for London for a safer London.
We also act as an intermediary service for our Operator/Drivers overspill - meaning if we can cover your excess jobs too!
We think this is the perfect solution, join us and see for yourself - you have nothing to lose!

The KGC Group has a call centre in North London, but there are no amenities here.
LondonAirConnections specializes in Airport, Hotel and Cruiseport Vehicle Transfers Only.
Flying Purple Pig Tours specializes in London & Southeast Photo Tours.
We have some major (pre-pay c/c) accounts including major travel agents and some corporate too.

FULL TIME AIRPORT/ CRUISEPORT JOBS: (LondonAirConnections)
All Airport work is offered in a list format.

The driver at top of the list is offered the job by text message and then he/she is then relegated to the bottom of the list, and all other drivers rise one place in the list.

This system is then repeated.

We do try to tie up jobs to get returns, but this is not always possible.

Because we only take advance bookings, most jobs are offered the day before pickup. This allows our drivers to plan their day etc.

Sometimes journeys are offered same day, but this is rare.

Driver pay commission on jobs completed only.
