Graduation Day Chauffeur
Yorkshire graduation days at Durham, York, Leeds and Newcastle — proud parents, three grandparents, one V-Class, and dinner afterwards.
Graduation days are a specific brief: the graduate and 4–6 family, cap-and-gown carried without creasing, and dinner booked afterwards. A single V-Class removes the parking problem outside a Yorkshire university.
Booked by proud parents for their son or daughter's graduation. Durham, York, Leeds and Newcastle are the most common ceremonies.
