I am Annabel Judd and proud to be part of the Driving Miss Daisy family, bringing my strong background in customer relationships and community connection. Having lived in the wider Cashmere community for more than 25 years, I am passionate about supporting local people and helping them stay connected and independent.
I understand that Driving Miss Daisy is about far more than simply getting from A to B – it’s about companionship, trust, reliability, and making every journey enjoyable, safe, and stress free.

Supporting me behind the scenes is my partner Ric, who brings extensive leadership, business, and governance experience across commercial organisations and community sport. Ric assists with administration, operational support, and helping ensure the business delivers a consistently high level of care and service to clients and families.

As proud Cantabrians, we are excited to continue building strong local relationships throughout the Cashmere community while providing safe, friendly, and reliable companion driving services for people of all ages and abilities.

Whether it’s medical appointments, shopping trips, social outings, school runs, or simply getting out and about, Annabel and the Driving Miss Daisy Cashmere team are committed to helping clients stay connected, independent, and supported every step of the way
