LPlateDriver.co.uk

• Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

• Founder

  • 2010 - 2011

  LPlateDriver was created and developed at 18 whilst still in education. The website was primarily designed for use as a driving instructor ‘comparison’ site. The business also advertised local car listings that were appropriate for first time drivers, as well as informational resources useful for learner drivers. The company was created in order to familiarise myself with all aspects of a business' operations whilst attempting to operate at a profit. Both of these objectives were achieved and the website ceased operations in order to fully concentrate on studies at University. Show less
