From hailing a taxi via an app to flagging one down on the street, getting from A to B has never been easier. But there are occasions where an Uber or a black cab just won’t do – you require a driver who is discreet, impeccably presented and, most importantly, punctual. That’s when you call Capstar Chauffeurs.

Founded by former soldiers Rob Bassett Cross and Charlie Bowmont, the company is one that takes the term ‘military precision’ seriously. Created with the idea of providing ex-servicemen and women with employment, and actively recruiting those who have been injured during service, its success has recently seen it expand outside the UK to its first international outpost in New York.
