An enterprising couple have come up with a business travel idea which gets busy executives to their destination.

Freelance Chauffeur, which offers a personal driver on call at a fraction of the cost of employing a full-time chauffeur, is the brainchild of Kevin Stockford.

Mr Stockford, a professional driver for many years, has teamed up with his wife Lynn to provide a uniformed chauffeur to drive your own car for you.

Mr Stockford, of Wytham View, Eynsham, said: "I discovered a need for a service that's a cut above an ordinary taxi, but less expensive than hiring a chauffeur with a vehicle.

"We offer the opportunity to sit back, relax and prepare for important business meetings and to make the right impression by arriving refreshed and in style, doors opened and at your call. All the client has to do is ensure the vehicle is properly insured for us to drive."

They can supply either a male or female driver in black or grey chauffeur uniform, formal suit or casual attire, according to individual clients. Fees are 100 to 150 for an eight-hour day or 60 for the minimum hire period of four hours.
