School proms set to be bigger than ever this year

June 13, 2011 By Trudi Johnson
prom-1

According to recent statistics, school proms are bigger than ever this year with hotels reporting a surge in bookings for prom events of 500% in some cases, and limo hire companies revealing they are having to turn away customers as the demand for luxury limos is more than most can cope with.

The prom season in the UK runs from the middle of June for four weeks until the middle of July, although some schools opt to have their end of year leaving events before and after these four weeks, this is when most are held. With 9 out of 10 schools in the Essex area throwing a school prom within the coming six weeks, the next month is going to be busy one for suppliers of prom services.

Research into prom spending habits has found that parents are forking out £415 on average for each child to go to their prom. This includes the outfit, be it a prom dress or a hired suit, hair and make up for the girls and also accessories such as shoes, handbags and jewellery, and also limo hire and party bus hire so the teens can arrive in style at the big event.

With American TV shows such as High School the Musical and Glee popularising the school prom further, end of year parties for younger children is now one of the biggest growing trends. Junior proms for children as young as 11 are fast becoming big business for limo hire providers and hotels as these youngsters want to emulate their favourite TV stars from the popular teen shows.

The UK’s leading limousine hire provider, Limo Broker, has reported a huge uptake in bookings for proms for the next four weeks. According to the national limo hire operator, July 1st is set to be the very busiest day of the year for prom limo bookings with every single pink limo within their fleet booked out for a school prom from 6pm on that date.

The phenomenon that is the school prom is gathering some serious momentum in Britain and with the news that younger and younger children are demanding end of year parties as well as the senior kids, prom fever is unlikely to slow down any time soon.

A luxury stretch limousine with onboard Jacuzzi is due to go under the hammer in Cape Town at the end of the month.

The impressive limo measures 12.5 metres in length and has room onboard for up to 23 passengers, so if you’re planning a big celebration, this is the limousine to do it in.

As well as an onboard Jacuzzi, the limousine also boasts no less than 6 plasma screens and DVD systems, plus fibre optic lighting effects and full ostrich leather upholstery for a super luxurious feel.

The limo was bought by its present owner in 1996 and underwent 12 months worth of improvements to transform the vehicle into the attention-grabbing ride it is today.

The state of the art limo would be ideally suited for use by private hire customers for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, school proms and even corporate events. With only a handful of limos with onboard Jacuzzis in existence, we imagine customers would be queuing up to book their ride in this extraordinary limousine.

If you’re looking for an extra special limo to celebrate a big occasion such as a wedding or school prom, get in touch with Limo Broker today to receive a free quote for chauffeur driven limo hire to any destination in the UK.

Limo Broker featured in Sunday Times article on school proms

June 7, 2010 By Trudi Johnson

Limo Broker is quoted in a recent article in The Sunday Times discussing the rise in popularity of the school proms

Limo Broker has featured in an article in the Sunday Times this weekend discussing the rise in popularity of school proms in the UK.

Within the last five years, the UK has adopted the tradition of the American style prom and has made it its own. Now, you’ll be hard pressed to find a school in the country which isn’t organising this end of term party.

As well as the big dress and the all-important date, limo hire plays a crucial role in the school prom experience. In the Sunday Times feature, Limo Broker sales manager Alex Drummond describes the overwhelming increase in bookings for prom dates which the company has experienced over the last few years.

Limo Broker’s sales manager estimates that the company provides chauffeur driven limousine hire for 500 school proms a month during the peak season, which is an increase of 200 bookings compared to just three years ago.

You may be wondering, what’s the big deal with school proms? Drummond likens the event to a “wedding for kids” as the prom is the biggest occasion the youngsters have experienced up until this point in their lives, hence the huge emphasis upon getting every detail just right; much like you would for a wedding or any other special event in your life.

As one of the leading limo hire providers in the UK, Limo Broker is well placed to offer affordable limousine rentals for proms taking place up and down the country. With prices starting from as little as £30 per person, it’s no wonder the popular limo operator is reporting a boom in sales this prom season.

Stretch Ferrari 360 limo becomes the most popular limousine in UK

April 10, 2010 By Carl Wheeler
Ferrari 350 F1 Limo

Ferrari 350 F1 Limo

The one-of-a-kind Ferrari limo was crowned the most popular limo in the whole of the UK this week after it topped a poll run by the country’s leading limousine hire provider, Limo Broker (http://www.limobroker.co.uk).

A truly unique vehicle, the 360 Modena Ferrari Stretch Limo is in a class of its own. The only one ever made, it is a world first, and available to rent in the UK through Limo Broker. Having recently undergone a make-over, the limo was transformed from black to red, the colour synonymous with the iconic Ferrari brand. This has certainly had a hand in increasing its popularity, now the limo is in high demand up and down the UK.

Videos of the stunning Ferrari limo on YouTube have also helped to raise the profile of the vehicle opening it up to a whole new fan base. The HD video clip gives a full view of both the exterior and interior of the limo, and even a glimpse of the authentic Ferrari engine. See the following link for more details the Ferrari 360 limo.

But when you hire the red Ferrari limousine, you are taking the style and class of your evening out, to a whole new level. When you hire a gorgeous red Ferrari limousine, you have to of course look the part – which is where the matching lipstick comes in. However, to really get into your new sexy role as hot Ferrari women on a night out, complete the look with an equally hot dress, killer heels and make sure you and the girls all have the attitude to match and you never know where your Ferrari limo hire could take you, or who you may meet there.

The technology used to create the Ferrari limo is exceptional. Dan Cawley, who is famed for his daring and outrageous limos, designed the stretched Ferrari limousine. For the all-important mechanics of the limo, only the best would do. Cawley therefore commissioned Carbonyte UK, the team who pioneered the Hot Fusion Composite Manufacturing Technology used on the McLaren SLR supercar, to work on the Ferrari engine.

The result is astounding. The Ferrari limo offers all of the comfort and luxury you’d associate with a stretch limousines, coupled with all the power and speed of a supercar. The limo is capable of reaching top speeds of 180mph, something unheard of in most other limousines, and boasts 400BHP (break horse power).

Onboard the hot red limo you’ll find everything you could possibly need for a special trip. Make your entrance through the dramatic suicide doors then make yourself comfy in the leather trim bucket seats. There’s also a large plasma screen onboard, along with a number of small personal screens alongside each seat, plus fibre optic lighting and a state of the art sound system, what more could you possibly ask for?!

Bookings for the Ferrari limo for weddings, hen and stag dos, birthday parties, and red carpet events are going through the roof. If you want to hire the UK’s most sought after limousine for your special occasion, you’ll need to get in quick.

Limo Broker also offer several other unique stretched limousines such as the Range Rover limo, Audi Q7 limo, Porsche Cayenne, Hummer limos, BMW X5 and many more. Please visit this link http://www.limobroker.co.uk/pages/limo-hire/jeep-and-4×4-limos/index.htm for more images and videos.
