Limo Broker attracts 4000 fans on Facebook
Limo Broker’s popularity on social networking site Facebook is growing stronger every week, so it’s not surprising the company has just announced that they’ve attracted a whopping 4,000 fans to their Facebook page within the space of a few months.
Only last December we reported how Facebook had announced that they’d attracted 1,000 fans within a matter of weeks of starting out on the site. In just over a month, that number has risen again by an extra 3,000 which is a remarkable achievement for the company.
Visit the Limo Broker Facebook Fan Page.
Facebook itself has even noticed the support the limo hire operator is gaining on its site. Limo Broker were granted their own dedicated URL recently in recognition of their popularity on Facebook. This is usually reserved for large global brands only.
The Limo Broker page on Facebook has been extremely successful in its ability to create an informal meeting place for sales staff to interact with customers. New users can post questions on the wall for the Limo Broker team, customers can advise each other on which limos to choose, and all fans are given first refusal on any special offers and last minute cancellations which crop up regularly.
Limo Broker have also reported their busiest January to date, with sales for limo hire going through the roof in the past few weeks. Part of this is likely to be down to their high profile status on Facebook as there seems to be a direct correlation between the company’s growing fanbase on the social networking site, and their surge in bookings as many booking enquiries are now being generated through their page.

Limo Broker contradicts gloomy industry survey by reporting the most successful year to date
In a recent survey conducted by top industry magazine and website, The Chauffeur.com, the results indicated that a hefty proportion of those involved in the limo hire business had noted a decline in custom during the difficult period of 2009, whereas agent brokers within the industry seemed unaffected by the slump. The survey sought to gain a snapshot of how the luxury transport business was fairing during the economic downturn, and how these businesses feel about the future of the industry.
Limo Broker
Out of all the limo hire operators interviewed by The Chauffeur Magazine as part of the survey, 62% said they had noticed a marked slowdown in their business over the last 12 months. 50% of those who had reported a decrease in business said that they estimated that the number of their bookings had dropped by 25%, but 40% said they’d noted a 50% drop in bookings received through 2009.
However broker agents within the industry tell a very different story, with many reporting a surge in business as more and more people choose to shop around to find cheap deals for limo hire. One of the UK’s leading limo hire brokers, Limo Broker Ltd, seemed to buck the trend in 2009 and reported one of their busiest years ever. This marked contrast in fortunes between the independent limo operators and the brokers, could raise a question mark over the future of the limo hire firms as the broker agents gain more power within the business.
Limo Broker is also displaying encouraging signs for the New Year. The enquiry rate has been extremely high during January and the company have reported an increase in wedding car and wedding limo hire bookings for the coming summer season. Limo Broker’s January sale promotion which saw hire prices heavily reduced has also helped boost bookings.
Other results from The Chauffeur website survey revealed that limo hire operators are looking towards the future with optimism as 46% of those questioned saying that they were planning to invest in a new vehicle for the fleet within the next year.
Clyde Valley Limousines named Best Limo Hire Company in the North East & Scotland
As one of the most established limo hire companies in Glasgow, its not surprising Clyde Valley Limousines scooped the prize for Best Limo Hire Company in Scotland and the North East at last weekends Transport Broker Awards ceremony held in Cardiff.
Clyde Valley Limos
The other two companies shortlisted for the award were Millennium Limousines and Dumfries Limo Company, however Clyde Valley Limousines had the edge and walked off with the trophy on the night.
One of the main reasons Clyde Valley Limousines stands out from the competition is its ability to introduce innovative limousines which really capture the imagination of the limo hiring public. The company were quick to react to the massive success of the blockbuster film of last year, Mama Mia, and quickly created the Mama Mia party bus decked out with all the latest gadgets and decorated with graphics from the hit film.
Another exciting vehicle within the Clyde Valley fleet is the High School The Musical themed limo, a firm favourite with the younger crowd, plus the massive silver and black hummer limo which has been nicknamed The Terminator, is a big hit with the boys.
Clyde Valley Limousine’s ability to offer a top class service coupled with a staggering range of limos has helped establish them as one of the leading luxury car hire providers in the UK, and a very worthy winner of the Transport Broker Award.

Rolls Royce Phantom car hire proves a hit with Asian and Indian weddings
The Rolls Royce is proving popular with Asian weddings
Limo Broker agents have noted a surge in the number of bookings for Rolls Royce Phantoms for Asian and Indian weddings in 2010. The luxury limo, which is also the car of choice for music mogul Simon Cowell, is also the top choice for Asian brides and grooms-to-be.
It seems vintage wedding cars are out along with white limos and Hummers; the trend for the coming wedding season is the majestic Rolls Royce Phantom. This luxurious limo offers masses of onboard space which is especially important for brides who may be wearing a lengthy dress. A smaller vehicle could leave a bride’s dress crammed in and the result is a crushed and dishevelled look, exactly what you don’t want when you’re about to walk down the aisle.
The Rolls Royce is highly regarded as one of the most elegant vehicles in existence. Without being over the top and flash, it offers the right amount of opulence to ensure you feel extra special on your big day. This impressive model will guarantee a positive reaction from all of your guests upon your arrival. The Phantom draws admiring glances wherever it goes and your friends and family won’t fail to be impressed with this exquisite limo which is the very height of luxury.
Another reason why the Phantom is gaining popularity with Asian and Indian weddings is its ability to provide an extremely comfortable and relaxing ride. Onboard you’ll find a champagne bar, sumptuous leather seats, a state of the art entertainment system and air conditioning to ensure you arrive feeling cool, calm and collected.
Limo Broker has expertise in providing chauffeur driven limo hire for Asian weddings and are sensitive to the unique nature of the celebration. As one of the biggest providers of limo hire in the country, Limo Broker will be able to provide you with a perfect Rolls Royce Phantom regardless of where you are based in the UK.

The National Limousine and Chauffeur Association (NLCA) are to hold a meeting with VOSA in order to clarify the change in regulations which came into force last Thursday, October 1st. The head of traffic enforcement at VOSA, Neil Barlow will be present as will several members of senior personnel at VOSA who will be happy to answer any questions regarding the changes. The meeting which will take place at Cedar Court Hotel in Bradford at 7:30pm will aim to iron out any issues relating to the new VOSA guidelines.

A similar meeting was held at the end of last month at top industry event, Drive ’09.

Save UK Limos launched campaign in protest at the new VOSA laws to protect limo hire industry against new safety regulations
Saveuklimos.com have launched a campaign in protest at the new VOSA laws which are due to come into force tomorrow, October 1st 2009. The new website aimed at generating support for limo hire bosses argues that the new safety regulations are unnecessary and will put the future of the U.K limo hire industry in serious jeopardy.
Save UK Limos
From midnight on September 30th hundreds of limos worth millions of pounds will instantly become un-roadworthy. The owners won’t be able to sell the vehicle to recoup the losses as without the VOSA stamp of approval, the limo is worthless. Limo hire customers will also be affected as those who have booked in advance will find the limo they had ordered is no longer available and an alternative vehicle will be difficult, if not impossible, to come by.
The VOSA regulations will affect limos carrying over 8 passengers. The only official written warning limo owners have had regarding the change in law came in a letter recently. VOSA state that under new powers they will now be able to carry out rigorous road checks and impound any vehicle which falls foul of the regulations. However Saveuklimos.com argues that the guidelines are unclear and that many limo bosses are uncertain about the rules their vehicles need to comply with.
Limo owners argue that the rules are unnecessary and the figures do seem to speak for themselves. Over the past 15 years there hasn’t been a single fatal accident involving a limousine, which is in stark contrast to the track record of other forms of transportation. As a luxury mode of transport, limos don’t travel at speed and are less likely to put the passengers in danger.
The argument over the VOSA regulations appears to be intensifying with marches and protests scheduled to take place tomorrow to coincide with the launch of the laws.
