Description
The University of Leeds requires Coach Hire and Mini

each opportunity.
The pattern of hire services differs from month to

peaks in January, February and September.
Bookings are normally made around 8-4 weeks ahead
of the relevant event.
Coach hire services are generally required for
students, but occasionally can be required for
members of staff and non-members of staff (including
