Lefteris

Founder – Director CEO

With 8 years of customer service experience in hotel businesses, I bring a strong foundation in hospitality, client relations, and problem-solving to my new role with a company dedicated to educating individuals for the SPSV (Small Public Service Vehicle) certificate in Ireland.

My background has equipped me with a deep understanding of customer needs, effective communication, and the importance of regulatory compliance – skills that are directly applicable to guiding and supporting future SPSV drivers as they prepare for the entry test and licensing process.

I am passionate about helping others succeed in the Irish transport sector, ensuring they are well-prepared to deliver safe, professional, and customer-focused service in line with national standards.

Odysseas

Owner – Director CEO
Art Director | Production Manager | Web Designer | Illustrator | Artist

I’m a creative professional with over 20 years of experience in art direction, web design, production management, and illustration – and now, as the co-founder of Driving Mates and a professional taxi driver in Ireland, I’m proud to bring that experience into a new mission: helping others find opportunity and stability through meaningful work.

Throughout my career, I’ve led hundreds of successful projects – from digital design and branding to full-scale marketing campaigns – helping businesses grow and connect more deeply with their audiences. As a freelance Dark Cyberpunk artist, I’ve contributed to global projects across music, publishing, fashion, and advertising since 2004.

But beyond all creative titles, I’m also a husband and father of four, and everything I do is grounded in my desire to build a better world for my family.

Together with my partner, Lefteris, we founded Driving Mates to help others take the same journey we once took – leaving home in search of a better future. We know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to start over in a new country. That’s why we created a service that not only trains and prepares you for a career, but also supports you with heart, honesty, and real experience.

Ireland drew me in with its values, culture, and strong sense of community – things that resonate deeply with me. This country now represents a new chapter, one where I’m not only building a future for my children but contributing to a society I truly admire.

By working together, I believe we can create something meaningful — for you, for your family, and for the future.

Our Promise

We too left our homeland in search of a better future for our families. We understand what it means to leave behind your home, your friends, and the life you once knew – the excitement, the uncertainty, and the sacrifices.

That’s exactly why we created Driving Mates.

We’ve lived through the challenges of starting over in a new country, and we’ve used that experience to design a program that makes your transition as smooth, supportive, and stress-free as possible.

You’re not alone in this journey. We’re here to walk beside you – every step of the way.

Here’s what we promise:

Documentation & Procedures

We’re by your side every step of the way. With simple and clear guidance, we help you prepare all the necessary documents from the comfort of your home to facilitate your move to Ireland.

We assist you in scheduling your appointment to obtain your Personal Public Service Number (PPSN), which is essential for working and accessing services in Ireland.

We know how difficult it can be to find decent and affordable housing in Dublin. That’s why we’ve prepared three solid accommodation options for you. Additionally, based on our local experience, we can offer further tailored solutions to suit your specific needs.

Our packages include guidance services to and from the airport, as well as to important appointments – whether for your PPSN, course preparation, or exams.

We understand how misleading social media promises can be. That’s why we’re here to speak with you directly and honestly, explaining every step of the process, including pricing, timelines, and what to realistically expect. We never make promises we haven’t fulfilled ourselves – because we were once in your shoes.

Our goal is not just to help you find a job in Ireland, but to welcome you into our community. We aim to build a relationship, work together, and who knows – maybe you’ll find yourself joining us for weekend BBQs!
