This is the story of how Tomasz went from a self-made private chauffeur to one of The Summit’s executive chauffeurs and a favourite of many of our clients…
Tomasz loves it when you spell his name correctly, but he does understand that it’s a bit tricky and after all, it sounds exactly the same whether it’s in English or Polish!

‘I came to the UK in 2000 shortly after qualifying as a gas engineer at school in Poland. I arrived in and immediately found work in the city and surrounding areas in my trade.
Very soon, I was lucky enough to get involved in some successful property investment opportunities, helping to refurbish and convert some lovely buildings. My clients would invest while I project managed and planned the developments to turn them into something truly special. I was very proud of the projects we completed together and found our pursuit of a great return on our investments always paid off.
And then a dreadful thing happened…
𝗕𝗿𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁
Suddenly everything became more complicated; foreign investors started looking for projects in countries other than the UK, and my beautiful career began to dwindle.
I needed a back-up plan and decided to enter the very smart world of the , and everything started to look bright again.
And whilst the construction industry began to slowly recover from Brexit, the global economy came to a halt again by way of yet another, even more dreadful thing – Covid.

Once again, I had to seek new opportunities as driving a costly car like my lovely S Class was proving difficult to manage.
But I was determined to continue striving if only for my son, who turned 20 in February this year (2026). He’s doing a consultancy and finance apprenticeship in London and joins me on the golf course occasionally too - we have a great day doing what I love with who I love!
That’s when I met with Rehan and suddenly I went from striving to driving, and I haven’t stopped since.
These days though my current drive of choice is the mighty i7, but if we ever earn enough money that I can retire young, I wouldn’t get my own car, I would be driven by Rehan.
(But don’t tell him I said that).

Where would you like to go in my beautiful i7?
Please email [email protected] and let me know, I’d be happy to meet you.’
