A top ranking American limo rental website, EzLimoRentals.com (pronounced Easy Limo Rentals) has been bought out by an anonymous UK based buyer according to a recent online report. It’s understood the new owner of EzLimoRentals.com operates a leading limousine hire business in the UK and is planning to expand the company into America.

To mark the takeover of EzLimoRentals.com the new owners are offering all American limousine rental agents the chance to benefit from a free listing on the high ranking website. Companies that already have a listing on the limousine rental site will be able to keep their ad, while those who would like to experiment to see if a listing on EzLimoRentals.com would help boost their online profile, will have the chance to try out the service free of charge.

The new owners of EzLimoRentals.com see the acquisition of the new website as their first step into the American market, something the British company has been keen to pursue for some time according to recent reports. The mystery Managing Director of the UK based company was quoted as saying, “Targeting the American market is something we’ve been planning for some time, however we had to wait for the right opportunity to come our way.”

The anonymous new owner went on to say, “EzLimorentals.com is the perfect way in for our company as our strength lies in our online marketing – taking ownership of a recognisable site such as EzLimorentals.com will provide us with a substantial leg-up into the US market while at the same time providing us with great potential to develop our brand”.

Now the buy-out of the leading American limo rental website is complete, the new owners say they are planning to get straight to work revamping the site. The mystery owner is understood to have successfully developed a range of online products as part of the limo hire business in the UK with a proven track record in strong online marketing.

The company is now planning to take their winning model over to the US with the same web team poised to re-develop the EzLimoRentals.com website to improve the website’s SEO, and boost its overall ranking with the aim of becoming one of the most influential limo rental providers in the States.

X Factor winners, Little Mix, have thrown themselves into a rigorous exercise regime as the girl band attempt to get their fitness levels up ahead of the official X Factor Tour which is due to kick off at the end of next month.

20-year-old Little Mix band member, Jesy Nelson, was the first from the group to hire a personal trainer in a bid to get fit for the forthcoming tour, however the rest of the girls soon followed suit, hiring their own fitness instructors to help them shape up for the tour which will see the X Factor finalists play at venues across the UK.

During her time on the X Factor, Jesy Nelson from Essex openly spoke about how she had been the target of online bullying over her weight. While the experience upset the 20-year-old greatly, she didn’t let the cyber bullies get the better of her, and Little Mix went onto triumph in the final of the ITV talent show.

Little Mix’s Jesy explained that the band have six songs to perform at each show when the tour starts on February 25th in Manchester, with the Little Mix girls set to perform an upbeat set with lots of dance routines, which is why they’re all keen to be at the peak of fitness for when the tour begins.

Little Mix are currently in Brighton where they’re preparing material for their debut album and rehearsing for the upcoming tour. The girls are making the most of the seaside location with Jesy and Leigh-Anne revealing they get up for early morning walks along the pier to kick start their days.

21-year-old Gemma was crowned Miss Limo 2012 by the current Miss Universe Great Britain, Chloe-Beth Morgan, who was the guest of honour at the glittering event. Four ladies were selected by an independent panel of judges as finalists for the Miss Limo title including Kirstie McGrath, who came in fourth place, Gemma Cowtan, who was runner up in third place, and second place was awarded to Michelle Chamberlain.

The Miss Limo judges were not only looking for beautiful and glamorous young ladies as the finalists for the beauty contest, but women with personality and also the ability to communicate confidently and passionately.

Gemma Roberts, who is originally from Dinas Powys in the Vale of Glamorgan but now lives in Newport where she’s a student in her final year at University, ticked all of the boxes as far as the judges were concerned, with beauty queen looks, intelligence and the ability to express herself articulately.

The new Miss Limo was “truly over the moon” to be named as the winner of the UK’s biggest online beauty pageant and says she can’t wait to get “stuck into promoting the incredible Audi R8 stretch limo” and using her title to help fund raise for charity projects including Charity Plan UK which Gemma has been associated with previously.

As well as earning the title of Miss Limo 2012, Sports and Psychology student Gemma also walked away with a whole host of fantastic prizes including a holiday for two, £500 in cash, a bespoke website by Web Leasing, press releases for promotion, and a professional photo shoot by Sadha Video.

MEDFORD, N.J. — Iric “Ric” Cohen, owner, founder and president of Limousine Digest and Modern Technologies Group, resigned his executive posts Tuesday following his arrest last week on charges of sexual assault and kidnapping related to an 18-year-old woman.

Limousine Digest Publisher Chris Weiss was named president of Limousine Digest Magazine and the Limousine Digest Show, according to a statement issued by Eric Alpert that identifies himself as the CEO and owner of MTG and the COO and owner of Limousine Digest and the Limousine Digest Show.

“Ric Cohen has relinquished all responsibilities to Limousine Digest and all related organizations at this time in order to focus on personal matters,” the statement reads.

The statement quotes Alpert: “Chris has been serving as the acting president of [the] Limousine Digest and the Show for some time now, and I am proud to officially recognize him and his contribution to the organizations and the industry accordingly.  .  . I am confident Chris, as president, will continue leading Limousine Digest Magazine and the Limousine Digest Show in a focused, industry-centered manner, exuding a positive, professional and diplomatic manner in all that he does.”

Details of the arrest of Cohen and another suspect, Richard Hughes, were reported by several leading Philadelphia media organizations last week.

Cohen bonded out of the Burlington County Detention Center on Dec. 30 posting $300,000 bail. A second suspect, Richard Hughes, bonded out on Dec. 29 posting $300,000 bail.

According to a South Jersey Local News article posted today: Cohen is the co-owner of Modern Technologies Group, which is located on Fostertown Road in Medford. He is the president of Limousine Digest, a trade magazine for limousine business owners. His company also sells limousine parts and owns Integrated Marketing Concepts, a graphic arts firm. Cohen also owns Global Property Management, a real estate development company.  Cohen, a Mount Laurel resident, is married with two sons.

“Cohen was previously arrested in November 1999, charged with setting 80 bales of hay on fire at the Fostertown Road office site as a means of assisting his brother, Clifford Cohen, in delivering a blazing marriage proposal to his girlfriend.  Those charges were dismissed.”

Limousine, Charter and Tour Magazine and Limousine Digest are the two leading competing trade magazines for the chauffeured transportation industry. LCT holds a trade show and convention each winter in Las Vegas, Nev., while Limousine Digest holds one each fall in Atlantic City, N.J.

The Mount Laurel Police Department said Cohen and a man named Richard Hughes were accused of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old female acquaintance at the Aloft Hotel on 8th December 2011. The men were arrested on outstanding warrants and have been charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault, first-degree kidnapping and second-degree conspiracy.

The Limousine Digest Show moved to Atlantic City in 1996.

According to a recent newspaper report, the ex couple are planning to take their young children out for a family visit in the New Year. If the outing goes ahead, it will be the first time the former glamour model and singer have been seen together in public for more than two years since their divorce.

The 38-year-old Mysterious Girl hit maker turned coffee shop owner first met Katie aka Jordan when they both appeared on the 2004 series of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, the couple married the following September and have two children together, 4-year-old Princess and 6-year-old Junior and Peter is also a father figure to Katie’s son from a previous relationship, Harvey.
