About Gareth Evans
Gareth joined The Loamy Cape in 2017 after spending 9 years as a private driver for a regional bank. He is a Cardiff local who knows every shortcut between the city centre and the M4. He doesn't rely on sat-nav for local trips because he knows where the roadworks usually pop up. Gareth is responsible for our team of 5 drivers and ensures every vehicle meets our strict standards before it leaves the yard at 15 Park Lane.
Our "Drivers who know the lanes" rule exists because of Gareth. In March 2024, he mapped out 14 alternative routes to avoid the frequent congestion at the Brynglas Tunnels. This kind of planning means our passengers rarely feel the stress of a traffic jam. He believes that a quiet ride is a basic requirement, not a bonus. If you are in the back of his SUV, he keeps the radio off and the cabin temperature at a steady 19 degrees unless you ask otherwise.
Gareth personally manages 47 of our regular corporate accounts. These clients book him because he understands the need for privacy. He won't spend the trip making small talk while you are trying to prepare for a meeting. Honestly, some people find him a bit too quiet, but our business clients prefer that over a chatty cab driver. He takes his role as Head Driver seriously and won't let a car go out if there is even a single fingerprint on the window glass.
Last year, Gareth completed 156 trips to Heathrow and Gatwick. His records show he arrived at least 11 minutes early for 94% of those pickups. He likes to be parked and ready before the client even walks out the door. He also oversees our "Clean cabin promise," which involves a 12-point check of the upholstery and floor mats after every single journey. He even checks the charging cables to make sure they aren't frayed or dusty.
When he isn't driving, Gareth handles the maintenance schedule for our fleet of executive sedans. He keeps a physical logbook for each car, tracking every service and tyre change since 2019. He prefers old-fashioned notebooks over complicated apps. This attention to detail is why we have a 4.7 rating from our last 83 customer reviews. If you need a reliable ride to a business event in Bristol or a quiet trip to the airport, Gareth is the one who makes sure it happens without any fuss.
