Lovedale long lunch was a great success again this year for Newcastle Limousines as we had car after car after bus after car up in the vineyards taking our guests - avid lunch goers, from one delicious stop the the next. Allandale, Tatler, Wandin, Emmas Cottage and Sandalyn were just some of the Wineries hosting this now legendary annual event. Revellers delighted in eight-hour slow braised lamb shoulder and roasted sweet potato, chocolate caramello cheesecake and Binnorie Brie with tomato and fig relish and crackers - and that was just one stop along the way. Dress ups, onsies, gigantic cowboy hats and everything inbetween could be found on our patrons, with bookings already being taken for The Lovedale Long Lunch next year. (May 16th-17th 2015). 

In the world of business, few situations are as precarious as trying to impress a potential client. When good first impressions come into play, you’ve got your work cut out for you. Not only do you have to know how to dress, how to present yourself, and how to represent your company, you have to know when and how to provide for the comfort and enjoyment of your potential business partner.
Choosing the correct business outfit is an important step to impressing your client. So is ensuring that he or she enjoys a comfortable and luxurious stay while they’re in town. Another major aspect of making a great impression? Providing an executive limo for their commutes, no matter where they’re going. Why a limo? Let us explain.

Car Service is the Easiest (and Best) Way to Travel
Consider your potential client’s feelings when they arrive in your company’s home city, and they must immediately go to the car rental station, stand in line for upwards of an hour, and then drive themselves around a foreign place for the duration of their visit. There is nothing luxurious or comfortable about that situation. This is where your unique attention to detail comes in. Surprise your client with car service the moment their plane lands. Situate the Chauffeur in baggage claim with your potential client’s name on a sign. Let them enjoy the perk of having a professional driver help them with their bags. Once they’re comfortably situated in the back of the luxury vehicle, they’ll have the serene quiet and privacy that they need to make phone calls, answer emails, or catch up on their workload. Whatever responsibilities your client has on their time, they should never have to drive themselves when visiting your company.

Choose the Right Car
Finding a car that suits the luxury interests of your client is easy if you choose the company that has an impressive fleet. Consider the occasion and select a car that fits. Here are a few vehicles that are perfect for making a timeless impression on your client:
Luxury Sedan
Consider the luxury sedan, capable of comfortably seating up to three passengers and carrying as much as 7 pieces of luggage. Your client will love the sleek, pristine look of the vehicle as they climb in the back. With leather seating, a state-of-the-art soundsystem, and plenty of room to stretch out, their travel will be comfortable and efficient.
Chauffeured Tarago
Perhaps you want to show your clients require a little more room in the transportation you provide for their visit to your office. A chauffeured Tarago offers even more room for them to stretch out and plenty of cargo space for even the most challenging sets of luggage.
Stretch Limousine
This vehicle is the ultimate in luxury travel for an important visiting client. Not only does the luxury limousine put forth a striking appearance, it also offers the utmost in interior luxuries, as well. Consider the ice bins, cabin partition, and complimentary glasses for any beverages your client might want to enjoy. There is also a TV and DVD to help them escape for a few minutes after a long flight.
Impressing a potential client requires a lot of executives; however, with the right car service vehicle from the right company, you can make the kind of first impression that leads to successful business each and every time.

Newcastle has seen Cruise Season sail away for the start of 2013 with Pacific Pearl the last cruise ship to visit Newcastle harbour for this season. Here at Newcastle limousines we enjoyed providing services with our fleet to all the cruisers - couples and groups large and small. Many passengers enjoyed our chauffered vehicles to take in the sites and flavours of Newcastles stunning beaches, fine cuisine and attractions. Many of the guests were pleasantly surprised at Newcastle as it now is - a renewed city with vibrant foreshore apartments and restaurants.

We are looking forward to servicing the cruise ships when the weather warms up and cruising returns later in the year in September 2013.

This festive season we have shuttled Santa's, and elf's and Elvis to boot. Dress up parties, themed events and all their Kris Kringle loot!

Santa may come but once a year, but here at Newcastle Limousines Christmas has been almost every day for the past month!

We have had a month of Corporate Christmas parties, shuttles, transfers and very merry guests, which makes us happiest of all to know they have been able to really relax and enjoy themselves without the worry of driving to or from their end of year cheer.

From the group of 40 enjoying lunch on the harbour, to family and friends catching up over dinner and arriving in limousine style, we have seen it all this Christmas and can't wait to do it all again next December. Our Staff particularly enjoy this time of year as everyone they chauffeur is in such a fun, relaxed and festive mood, it only makes us look forward to enjoying our own family Christmas experience, and one we hope all of you get to enjoy as much as we do.

From the team here, we want to say Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night (out with friends!)

Merry Christmas!
