Freedom Companion Driving Napier -Eric Barbier

I am married to Helen and have two children who are both at university.

I have enjoyed a varied work life. I was born in France and came to New Zealand in 2009. We owned a motel business in Gisborne for seven years, I was then Operations Manager for a sporting organisation. Since arriving in Hawkes Bay, I have worked for the Ministry of Social Development and now am enjoying the experience of providing a personalised companion driving service.

Freedom Companion Driving is a business with heart and nothing compares to the satisfaction of making a difference in people’s lives.

Freedom offers much more than just transport. It’s a service delivered with care, compassion and a smile. For our clients, it’s the next best thing to being out with a family member or good friend.

The Freedom service restores independence, provides companionship and assistance not available with other transport options and gives a helping hand to people juggling the demands of elderly parents or children.

With a versatile vehicle, I am able to meet all our clients’ needs, including access for all wheelchairs and walkers.

Anyone who needs assistance with transport can use our service, Freedom is ACC registered and a supplier for the Total Mobility Scheme, which gives you special fare rates if you are registered.

Call me today to discuss your requirements.

Pre-bookings are essential.
