You will have noticed Dial-a-Cab’s coverage in The Times during the months of October, November and December resulting from the jointly sponsored Times / Dial-a-Cab City Reception and Receptionist of the Year Award. The award culminated at the beginning of December, when a panel of six judges, including Brian Rice and Allen Togwell, awarded Lorna Ewin of Shook, Hardy & Bacon with the accolade of City Receptionist of the Year. The reception area of M & C Saatchi was voted City Reception of the Year. "Lorna is a receptionist of the future," commented Lindsay Petrie, Regional Director of Office Angels and member of the judging panel.	Her unflappable, professional attitude impressed the judges enough to win her the title - and a weekend break for two in Paris via Eurostar. Two runner-up receptionists, Lynda Hilliard of ITN and Nicola Murphy, of Malcolm Hollis, both won a night out for two at any London theatre of their choice. Judges found the minimalist reception area of M & C Saatchi surprisingly welcoming. It subtly reflected the attitude of the company, without becoming imposing. Partner of M & C Saatchi, Jeremy Sinclair, accepted a commemorative plaque on the company’s behalf at a presentation ceremony on 8th December.		As well as coverage from The Times, news of the award attracted attention from TV. Lorna Ewin was interviewed on Channel 4’s ‘The Big Breakfast’ by the program’s presenter, Denise van Outen. They chatted about Lorna’s success and mentioned Dial-a-Cab as the joint official award sponsors. The Dial-a-Cab logo appeared on screen, being on the certificate that Lorna was presented with at the ceremony on 8th December. Dial-a-Cab’s Allen Togwell told Call Sign that the whole enterprise had been a "…pleasing success both from being a part of the exercise and of course the publicity gained. We hope that this competition will be an ongoing one and that we will be involved again next year."

Driver's Christmas Incentive

With the expected increase in demand that the EMU weekend promised, the Board decided to operate an incentive.
   Scheme. Unfortunately Call Sign’s printing schedule means that we don’t know the results before going to print.
   The incentive ran for 18 days, from Friday 18th December 1998 through to Monday 4th January 1999 inclusive.
   To participate drivers had to work a minimum of any 7 days during the period and must have signed on for a minimum of 6 hours on each of the days worked.
   The winner was the driver whose had the highest average number of trips over the 18 days.
   So if you worked seven days and did 35 credit rides (only credit trips cleared at above Ł1.40 counted) then your average

was five. If you did ten days with 60 trips, then your average was six etc. The 1^st prize was a 3 day break for two at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at La Manga in Spain including flights or Ł1000.

2^nd prize was Ł900
3rd Ł800
4th Ł700
5th Ł600
