Marshalling
I am sure you will have noticed that over the past month there
have been many Marshalled events, including some very high
profile locations. Your assistance is always much appreciated by
the Marshalling team because I have to say that in all the years
that I have been involved with this side of the operation, it is
without doubt the busiest period I can ever recall. On some
recent evenings, we have seen up to four events running
consecutively! But with your invaluable assistance, the coverage
has still been first class – thank you…
Dressing for work…
I can understand that during these above average temperatures,
there is a need to wear clothing that helps to keep you cool.
But we must show a true professional and businesslike image at
all times. We have recently received a request from a very
senior account that has strongly suggested they don’t want
drivers entering their premises wearing shorts, vests or
tracksuit bottoms.
Competition for lucrative work is stronger than ever and if we hope
to maintain and increase our share in an ever-demanding market,
we must now raise the bar! I would like to quote fellow Board
Member Allen Togwell, whom I have often heard say: "If you look
good, you feel good, if you feel good, you act good and others
around you will respond accordingly." I’m sure you all
understand where we are coming from - please make that little
extra effort, our future success is still in our own hands.
Meters
Just a final reminder that if you change the make or model of
your taximeter, it is almost certain that the interface cable
will also need changing. Without a compatible interface
connection, the printer will not print the amount on the actual
receipt. This is very important when your vehicle is presented
at the Public Carriage Office. If you are in doubt, please
contact Roman Way on 0207 700 4443.
