Corporate & V.I.P. Service

Building on three decades of business experience, Buchanan's deliver what every successful manager or executive demands from their travel providers - top-class vehicles, unrivalled reliability and a total commitment to customer service.

Above all, we understand the importance not just of punctuality but also the need to arrive at your meeting or appointment fresh, feeling good and ready for business. Any journey you make with Buchanan's professional chauffeur service will prove more comfortable, less tiring and far less stressful than any you could make with yourself at the wheel. It will give you the opportunity to organise and prepare yourself for a busy day's schedule - and give you the space and the facilities to use your time both constructively and cost-effectively.

All chauffeurs employed by Buchanan's are selected for their driving skills and depth of route knowledge, and for their presentation and customer awareness. They appreciate how costly time can be if not managed correctly, and all are experts at helping clients to use their time effectively. They are trained to know when to offer assistance and when to be seen and not heard. The sensitivity they show underlines Buchanan's belief in putting the customer first.

All clients can rely on Buchanan's for a completely confidential and discreet service. It is a key part of company policy that the identities and destinations of our clients are never disclosed to any third party. All drivers are required to sign a confidentiality agreement before they can become Buchanan's drivers.

Buchanan's No.1 for in-vehicle technology

Our cars become much more than just vehicles to get business clients from A to B. They are fully operational mobile offices, each offering a functioning working environment in which to plug in your laptop, send e-mails or faxes, access the Internet, work on reports and enjoy the same advantages you would have if you were working at your own office desk.

With one major difference, that is! Our air-conditioned, almost noiseless vehicles promise you complete privacy. No one will interrupt you and no one will look over your shoulder. You can carry on with your work at the pace you choose - and take a refreshment break whenever the mood takes you. Or you can choose not to work at all.

In-car facilities include
· two laptop points
· battery converter to prevent laptop rundown
· Internet connection
· telephone
· coffee on demand, served in a cup and saucer
· high-quality printer
· state-of-the-art DVD player
· television and radio

By allowing your office to travel with you, you will use your time and skills to best advantage - eliminating the 'down-time' that usually occurs when a key member of management or staff is en route to a business meeting. In so doing, you'll help keep your company ahead of the field.

And if an emergency does blow up at the office on the way and you're needed back urgently, where better to be than in a Buchanan's car? At a moment's notice, your chauffeur will turn the car round and ensure that you arrive back safely, then remain on call until you decide whether to resume your journey. Flexibility is our watchword at all times.

When you consider the savings in working time, our professional chauffeur service can be surprisingly cost-effective - especially as the costs are fully tax deductible (as at January 2002).
