Who Are We?

Hello! I’m James Plaskett, Managing Director at JRP Direct Ltd. I started out with one minibus and the belief that transport should be safe, punctual and stress-free. In October 2019, I founded the business with a single Ford Transit minibus and got behind the wheel every day.

Driving those early journeys myself meant getting to know our customers and understanding what mattered to them. Arriving on time, being easy to contact and giving everyone a friendly welcome were important then, and they still are today.

By September 2023, my original minibus company had completed the purchase of JG Coaches and, in March 2024, everything came together under the JRP Direct Ltd name. We’ve grown steadily into a mixed fleet serving East Sussex and beyond, helping customers with school transport, airport transfers, group outings and longer trips.

Today, I focus on leading our brilliant team of drivers, office staff and mechanics, while our Transport Manager runs the day-to-day. Each person plays an important part in your journey, whether they’re answering your questions, preparing your vehicle or welcoming you on board.

We know it’s reassuring to see who you’re booking with and who will be looking after you. That’s why we’d like to introduce the people behind JRP Direct and help you put a few faces to the names. So take a look at our Meet The Team page to find out more about each of us

The business has grown, but my goal hasn’t changed. I want every customer to feel confident booking with us and comfortable travelling with us, with reliable, safe transport and a friendly team you can turn to.

 

What We Stand For

We’re a small, responsive team that treats every booking personally. Professionalism guides everything – clear quotes, straightforward terms and timely confirmations – while reliability comes from modern, well‑maintained vehicles and proactive communication. Above all, we keep reinvesting in our fleet, our people and our technology so each journey is safer, cleaner and more comfortable than the last.

How We Work

Safety first, always: Our vehicles are maintained by qualified mechanics, tracked with telematics and fitted with CCTV for peace of mind. Our polite, DBS‑checked drivers are trained to put safety and comfort first. We pride ourselves on clean, punctual journeys, and your driver aims to arrive 15 minutes early.

Comfort & tech: Expect climate control, generous luggage space, and extras like 4G Wi‑Fi and entertainment systems are on many vehicles. Our fleet includes executive minibuses, midi coaches, larger coaches (including wheelchair accessible coach options), and ULEZ‑compliant vehicles for coach hire near London airports.

Flexible by design: From school trip coach hire in East Sussex to corporate transfers, theatre nights, shopping days and European tours, there’s no minimum hire duration. Tell us your plan and we’ll shape the journey around you.
