Rescheduling to a 4am pickup, oat milk lattes, being fashionably late, catching you when you slip in the rain, fighting off paparazzi, allowing a foreign dignitaryโ€™s teenager to entertain friends, chasing muggers (and getting hurt in the action), even spotting shooting stars (and hiding actual stars under coats in the backseat).

As a CEO myself, I do know that particulars are important, but sometimes, the C-Suite just want to be entertained and looked afterโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ’” It's story old as time - boy meets chauffeur, boy doesn't want to let chauffeur go...

That's just what happened when I received a call from a long-standing guest, 'I need you', he said... 'Tonight'...

I duly readied myself and prepared my majestic BMW74Le, making sure everything was just how he likes it...

And then he asks if we can take his car... An equally majestic BMWi7...

Of course, I'm always happy to say yes, UNTIL!

'Be my personal chauffeur', he said, 'What would it take?'

It would take a hell of a lot!

Yes you could offer me money, but I couldn't, and wouldn't ever leave my first love - The Summit...

I'm am yours, but you'll have to share me...

Discretion, technology, communication, punctuality and a sense of humour - ๐“๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ˆ ๐๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐š ๐‚๐„๐Ž ๐ง๐ž๐ž๐๐ฌ from their service provider.

And this time there are stories!

Iโ€™m a CEO myself and have worked for decades with and for other C-suiters, which places me in the perfect position to predict what my guests need from their chauffeur service. Bear with me on this one, itโ€™s important information, but itโ€™s interesting too!

๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
First of all the CEO has enough on their plate with managing the company, organising presentations and agendas and so on without having the need to source meeting venues and transportation. Thatโ€™s when they rely on their Executive Assistant to have an open channel of clear communication with service providers such as myself.

Additionally, I have a wide and varied network including venue finders, event managers and 5-star caterers that I can call upon to further assist the EA in their role. Communication is essential in logistics, and if I can clarify that I am happy to be of service.

For example, who else will pick up a message at nearly 9pm and be ready to act on a rescheduled pick-up time? Who else will have that conversation with the other parties concerned with the logistics of the day?

๐—˜๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ป๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐˜†
Of course, communication tactics have to embrace technology to be anywhere near good, but any CEO understands the application of technology goes further than that, especially in the travel and private transport sector.

In fact, I have become known in my circles as the go-to person for advice and guidance on the installation of dedicated Wi-Fi services on board chauffeur driven vehicles. A Wi-Fi service that goes beyond โ€˜hotspotsโ€™ and allows the vehicle to act as a mobile officeโ€ฆ

When my female guest was on her way to give a key-note speech at a large conference and her tights snagged and got a run, who else had the technology to find the nearest shop selling these items? Who else had on-board secure journey tracking so the people waiting to greet her knew where she was, and that she was safe at all times?

๐——๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
Discretion is of primary concern in my profession, I hold my drivers to account, continue training and never allow selfies โ€“ even when I met my own personal hero (true story)!

Deals that are discussed, negotiations undertaken, agreements made, prices and cost, private matters, and even personal taste in music, film or food and drink never leave the car by means of The Summit.

And if you need to sneak out of a venue, and be shielded from flashing camera lights, I have any number of decoy vehicles ready and waitingโ€ฆ

๐—”๐—ป๐˜†๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น!
I could go on, explaining more benefits of an executive chauffeur service, run by me, but I also know that what you want are interesting storiesโ€ฆ Now, considering what Iโ€™ve just said about discretion, I cannot divulge too much information, but I can give you almost anything else!

Rescheduling to a 4am pickup, oat milk lattes, being fashionably late, catching you when you slip in the rain, fighting off paparazzi, allowing a foreign dignitaryโ€™s teenager to entertain friends, chasing muggers (and getting hurt in the action), even spotting shooting stars (and hiding actual stars under coats in the backseat).

All these stories, and more are in my LinkedIn profile posts, and Iโ€™d love for you to join me there. As a CEO myself, I do know that particulars are important, but sometimes, the C-Suite just want to be entertained and looked afterโ€ฆ

What could be scarier?!

You're a household name, a known Pop Princess...

It's getting dark, it's raining - there are reporters lying in wait...

Cameras are flashing, the path is awash, the chauffeur is waiting with your umbrella - BUT!

A horrible twist of fate and in front of all the cameras you slip on the wet stones and fall...

Into the arms of your chauffeur! Not so scary after all...

Happy Halloween, everyone. I hope there's someone there to catch you when you slip ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

Where should you invest?

Having shared some time with world renowned thought leaders I have discovered that the person who is most successful is the one who continually invests in themselves or their team.

Whilst waiting patiently for a guest as he collected a University of Oxford postgrad qualification (see the photo), I did some research of my own...

Pre-Covid I was content with my business, but heartbroken during Covid and now loving life post-Covid โ€ฆ and my business figures reflect that!

The Summit have now officially become the trusted transfer partners for companies in life sciences, medical research and drug discovery.

My team and I are trusted by those in the events space including Conference Oxford and some of the premier hotels in the area.

Personally, I appear to have become the โ€˜go to guyโ€™ for some of the local, national and international stars for all things travel (including turn by turn directions over the phone). Lordโ€™s and Ladies call on me when they have a dinner engagement...

And all because I spent time investing in myself, and my team...

I still feel there is so much ahead for me on this road and I am grateful to each and everyone who shared this journey with me. Each turn has been a pleasure ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

Good luck on your journey ahead.

I've been biting my tongue for many years - too many to recall in fact...

Sometimes, I really have to bite hard, to refrain from asking for a selfie with my Principal Guest!

Just the other day, however, it all paid off...

My Principal thanked me for the respect I showed by not asking, even though he is a hero of yours and mine!

A little for you...

I just wanted to smack him ๐Ÿซฃ ๐Ÿซฃ ๐Ÿซฃ ๐Ÿซฃ

I had no alternative... it had finally come to this - only course of action

But I had to remain composed

He was a household name! But what else could I do?

He had knocked out a few of my team already, but I felt I could get the better of him...

I steadied myself - sweat pouring from my forehead - planted my feet on the ground

Everyone watched with bated breath...

This would be all over in a few seconds...

Glory, or a long, sulky walk back in defeat...

Now, that was over 25 years ago, on the cricket pitch.

And today he was sitting in the back off my car and I was his chauffer.

So yes, I reminded him of that moment all those years ago, and we laughed (though he less than I)

Whilst he went on to a professional career in cricket, I went into medical devices... (you know! I got a knee injury ๐Ÿ˜œ)

Otherwise I would almost definitely maybe certainly possibly have made it into the national team by his side.

Though I will not divulge who, if you would like to know if I won, or to schedule your next trip with a big hitter at The Summit Chauffeurs, please email [email protected]

โฑ๏ธโฑ๏ธโฑ๏ธ 'I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date...'

But neither is my pickup a date, or wanting to be on time, so it's all just fine and dandy...

The story goes a little like this:

My guest never wants to be on time, so I slow the car, take the scenic route and buy some time while she touches up her makeup.

Still too 'early', the call-time has now changed to 50 minutes later...

Here's where I tell you about how using The Summit compliments and in this case, protects your personal brand...

My guest arrived precisely when she wanted to, looking fresh having of course travelled in the best chauffeur driven car, and made the perfect entrance...

I'm never late, only ever intentionally so...

Where would you like to make the perfect entrance?

Tell me, and I'll make sure you arrive precisely when you want to.

While we suffer 'mal mรฉtรฉo', I know this house is always right...

OK, my French is somewhat 'mal', but the reception at this 4 star hotel in Oxford always brightens my day ๐ŸŒž

40 event speakers... 3 global conferences...

๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ

And my team of executive chauffeurs working as a smoothly coordinated machine...

With me strategically placed at 'ground zero' coordinating my drivers and the event management needs as conveyed by the guests, everything went as planned.

Even when plans changed at the last minute (as they often do!)

I love the challenge and am always ready to rise to it ๐Ÿ‘

Are you rising to your own challenges?
