A chauffeur company is enjoying a period of working with top executives and international rock bands as they fly in private jets and helicopters into and out of Hampshire’s main airports.

Class Executive Cars, which was formed in Romsey 12 months ago, has booked several celebrities in recent months, including CHIC’s Nile Rodgers. 

CLASS has also had a booking to take members of American punk rock legends Green Day from Southampton’s Harbour Hotel to Southampton Airport as they continued their tour after appearing at the Isle of Wight Festival.

Owner and director of CLASS Steve Rogers said: “It’s absolutely fascinating to see first hand how private jets and helicopters are no more than tools of the trade which allow talented people to do their jobs in the most efficient way possible.

"At CLASS a high-quality chauffeur service is a given which includes a professional door-to-door driving experience, punctuality and discretion.”

As the business founder, Mr Rogers has enjoyed a career as a police-trained driver, before he chauffeured senior UEFA officials in England for the UEFA Women’s Championship in 2022, which saw the Lionesses beat Germany 2-1 in the final at Wembley. 

In 2021 he was a driver for, among others, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic who were playing the Laver Cup at the O2 in London which  pits six of the best men’s tennis players from Europe against six of their best counterparts from the rest of the world over three days of intense team competition.

Mr Rogers, who also lists the major cruise companies as clients, operates locally, nationally and internationally. His aim is to address a gap in the market for people who need a reliable and cost-effective driver for business and social engagements. 

With more than 40 years’ experience and fully licensed, CLASS has a range of premium chauffeur services for both private individuals and corporate clients.  

Services include airport and cruise transfers, corporate hospitality and special events. In addition, on the occasions when a client wants to use their own car, CLASS can provide a fully qualified and experienced chauffeur to take the wheel.
