Club Class Chauffeurs have recently established a new working relationship with a PR Consulting Company called Cloud 9, based in Eastbourne. One of the items that came out of our recent meeting was that it would be a great idea for a photograph to be taken, with some of our chauffeurs, who have passed their NVQ qualification.
We are therefore enlisting your help on a number of fronts:-
1. We would like to have volunteers who have passed their NVQ qualification to put themselves forward to be in this photo (we are looking to enlist around 10 of you, to include both Jon and Paul)
2. Ideas of where we could take a great photograph – we would like something unique/different (perhaps a slight aerial shot with CCC logo on the roof of one of our cars and all chauffeurs surrounding the car holding their NVQ certificates)
3. Any offers of taking the photograph… are there any budding photographers out there that may have an eye for taking a good shot?
4. And for those of you offering to have your photo taken, there will be a small Thank You in the form of a bottle of something alcoholic!!!!!
This would be a good opportunity for you to meet half of our new PR team, Kate McCoy. She will be on hand to guide us in our photo taking and also coming up with a good caption to go with our smiley faces….. The photo would be offered to a local newspaper.
I would be very grateful if you could email Jon directly by Monday 26th July at 12noon if you could help us with this great PR opportunity.
Many thanks,
Sara
On the 25th June 2010, one of our client’s set about the Three Peaks Challenge, climbing the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales ie Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Snowdon – all within 24 hours…..
In order for the ‘challenge’ to start smoothly we were approached to see whether Club Class Chauffeurs would be willing to donate transport from Eastbourne to Gatwick airport for the team of 11. We were more than happy to do so.
Our client is part of the Eastbourne 32 Round Table and they were raising money for the RNLI, Round Table Children’s Wish and the Prostate Cancer Charity.
Due to our fantastic success at winning the Sussex Express Business Awards 2010 for Customer Service, we have been automatically entered into the Southern Business Awards which will be taking place on 3rd September 2010 at The Grand Hotel, Brighton.
The Southern Business Awards are the county’s most prestigious award scheme, recognising all-round business excellence.
The category that we are automatically entered into is Customer Service.
Jon and I would really welcome your input as to how to word our commitment, service and development of Customer Care. Our wording for this entry needs to be made by the end of August and therefore if I could have your feedback/comments (any at all) by Friday 9th July then this gives Jon and I enough time to put together a really good precis of what and who we are about.
We really appreciate your help in this matter and can only emphasize how important this could be for Club Class Chauffeurs, our marketing effort and of course recognition for ourselves and exisiting clients that they are in the best hands in the market.
Thank you.
Jon and Sara
It was lovely to learn the other day that one of our client’s had such a thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable journey to London that they wrote to me to personally thank the driver, Vince Coates. Our client’s wife had a major operation and her husband had booked a London theatre performance as something for her to look forward to, however he was concerned over his wife’s comfort in the car.
Not only was Vince aware of her situation but also, with his expert knowledge of London, ensured that they had a smooth and relaxing journey but they also saw several parts of London that they had not seen before.
Well done Vince. Truly going the ‘extra mile’.
Jon
