Junction 21 Executive Travel

Multi-award-winning executive travel company
Junction 21 is a real Rochdale success story.

A taxi driver in the borough for over 20 years,
Heywood born resident John Byrne decided
to invest in his own company and cater for
customers throughout the Greater Manchester
area over 10 years ago.

Founded with just one chauffeur driven
Mercedes Benz in the autumn of 2008, the
business has now expanded to provide three
levels of service:

Bronze – Standard Business Class
Silver – Executive Business Class
Gold - Chauffeur Driven Mercedes Benz

All new recruits begin as bronze drivers and
through continued in-house training, and
attainment of NVQ Level 2 qualifications in
Passenger Transportation, progress to providing
the silver and gold service.

The business hit a high in 2015 when it won Business of the Year (turnover under £1million) at the
Rochdale Business Awards ceremony, as well as John being nominated as a finalist for the Business
Person of the Year.

John, owner of the family business run alongside his wife, Pauline, and sons, Michael and Daniel, said:
“I love what I do and I am proud of the success of the company.

“We provide over 70% of the business community with Manchester Airport transfers, and an
increasing number of private customers who are looking to start their holiday off in style.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer our expert service at affordable prices in the Rochdale area and
beyond.”

With a fleet of company and driver owned Mercedes, the cars are used for a variety of services
including executive business travel, wedding car hire, prom car services and airport transfers.

A thriving business since the beginning, Junction 21 has expanded across two companies – J21
Chauffeurs and J21 Airport taxis, an online airport taxi service founded five years ago.
