Business Opportunities

It is today confirmed that the UK’s most trusted Hummer hire brand ‘HummerHummer’ is going on the market.  Establishing itself as being entirely dedicated to Hummer vehicles the company quickly became synonymous for servicing the media and promotional industry from transporting VIP’s or taking to the road on awareness campaigns for major brands.  It was also the birthplace of new approaches to the hire market such as fully customised Hummer limousines, in-car DJs and the ‘ScreenSurprise’TM all of which were implemented with the desire to take the limousine experience to the next level.

Richard Silvester, Managing Director of HummerHummer discusses the reasons for selling five years on…..

“Whilst being active on the HummerHummer project we have succeeded in building what we felt the industry needed… some young faces who would get innovative in order to create more of a 360 experience rather than offering just your typical limousine ride.  There is always going to be a demographic of people who want to be different, appreciate the value of the special touches and are willing to indulge that little more for a special occasion… I will never forget the look on one twelve year old Birthday boys face when we drove a plastic radio controlled Hummer buggy to his front door with a little note in it saying ‘now for something bigger?’, we timed it with his parents so that a real Hummer pulled up at his front door within seconds welcoming him to jump in, that experience created real buzz and one which we strive to make part of our service each and every day.

“Now, after recently becoming qualified in digital marketing I am going into the music business where my true passion lies.  I am currently representing a group called ‘FullEnglish’ (www.fullenglishmusic.com) who are going through development and who I have every confidence in hitting the mainstream over the coming 12 months.  I am also focussing on ‘Digirido’, a discussion and resource website dedicated for digital music marketing professionals.  After working on the HummerHummer project for five years I want to ensure it is handed over to someone who can be as passionate about it as I have been and also someone who believes they can transform it into a national player.  This is something we were set to do two years ago after receiving lots of franchise interest although we had to hold off after understanding the need for serious backing.  I have no doubt new licensing laws will help support a UK limousine hire brand to develop whilst the barrier to entry for smaller operations rises.  I would like to thank all of the limousine companies and partners who have helped support the brand up to this point and I welcome hearing from parties who are interested in this new opportunity.

Luxury chauffeur driven car and limo hire provider Cars For Stars, is currently scouring the country as it prepares to recruit a new team of chauffeurs across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Cars for Stars was recently taken over by new owners who have set a series of changes into action to give the company a revamp as it prepares to expand its range of services. One of the biggest changes the firm has undergone since its takeover is the scrapping of its franchise system. This has been replaced with a reservation system whereby customers can book car or limo hire quickly and efficiently online or over the phone.

As part of the new hire system set up by the new owners at Cars for Stars, the company is looking to invite new operators to work with the luxury chauffeur hire provider to form the new team. If you are interested in getting onboard with Cars for Stars and learning more about the business opportunities available with this burgeoning company, please get in touch via the website at the following links www.carsforstars.co.uk or at www.carsforstars.net

Since coming under the guidance of the new management, Cars for Stars has improved its online presence immensely. Two of the company’s main websites have had a complete makeover with brand new content and images added to the sites, along with a number of extra features such as the ability to connect with Cars for Stars via Facebook and Twitter.

With the introduction of the new and improved websites, Cars for Stars is now ranking extremely highly on all major search engines including Yahoo! Microsoft’s Bing and Google on which it ranks second for the search term “Chauffeur Cars.”

If you run your own chauffeur driven car or limo hire company anywhere in the UK, or if you are a self-employed chauffeur, why not expand your business potential by joining the team of operators at the country’s fastest growing luxury transport provider, Cars for Stars.
