Poppy Hansford has launched The Wedding Guest Chaperone, a new business that helps assist elderly relatives at weddings. She is a qualified healthcare assistant who loves weddings, so decided to put the two together. Poppy tells us:" I can assist with getting relatives organised and ready for the day ahead. I can chauffeur guests to the venue and keep them company throughout the day, from fetching cups of tea to taking them to the toilet if they need assistance.
