StudentSafe is delighted to announce the appointment of Steven Smith as our new Managing Director.
Steven joined StudentSafe at the beginning of July and has spent the past few weeks working closely with Joe Mathewson to ensure a smooth and seamless leadership transition. As we begin this exciting new chapter, Steven will lead the business as we continue to help independent schools deliver safe, reliable and efficient school transport.
With more than 45 years of experience across the transport and technology sectors, Steven brings a wealth of industry knowledge and commercial expertise to StudentSafe. He is widely recognised as the co-creator of Oscar, an award-winning platform that was among the first to unify chauffeur companies serving the corporate sector. Throughout his career, Steven has combined transport expertise with technology and innovation to deliver solutions that improve operational efficiency and customer experience.
Speaking about his appointment, Steven said:
“I’m delighted to be joining StudentSafe at such an exciting time for the business. The team has built an outstanding reputation for supporting independent schools, and I’m looking forward to meeting our partner schools, listening to their needs and building on the strong foundations already in place. Together, we’ll continue to innovate and deliver the high levels of service our customers expect.”
Mathew Hassell, Founder of StudentSafe, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Steven to StudentSafe. His extensive experience in transport, technology and business leadership makes him the ideal person to lead the next stage of our journey. I’d also like to thank Joe Mathewson for his contribution to the business over the past two years and wish him every success for the future.”
As StudentSafe continues to grow, our commitment remains the same: providing independent schools with trusted transport expertise, innovative technology and exceptional customer service.
We look forward to the opportunities ahead under Steven’s leadership.
