An emergency service
Deal roadshow saved by overnight cross-border rescue
When a violent storm grounded flights from Vancouver, the attendance of a primary executive in the deal roadshow looked impossible. Faced with this challenge, the roadshow team at the Canadian bank turned to Driven Worldwide, knowing that if any company could provide a solution, it would be them.
Within an hour, the Driven Worldwide project team, successfully located a chauffeur equipped with a passport, willing to embark on a cross-border journey. The chauffeur collected the stranded executive in Vancouver and embarked on a three-hour drive across the US border to Seattle, where the executive was able to safely catch a flight.
The team at Driven Worldwide masterminded the whole project within a few hours, putting the driver up in a hotel to rest fully before he embarked on the return journey (still in bad weather).
The client credited Driven Worldwide for salvaging their roadshow allowing it proceed seamlessly despite the initial setback.
Prepared for anything
Driven Worldwide chauffeur navigates unexpected challenges
During a recent Deal Roadshow in London, relentless rain brought traffic to a standstill, causing heightened stress levels for four overseas VIP passengers en route to a potentially life-changing deal meeting.
The chauffeur, a seasoned member of the Driven Worldwide team, quickly assessed the situation. Near to London Bridge, a strategic decision was made. A swift call to the ground control team determined that the fastest route to the city was via the London Underground. Without hesitation, the chauffeur provided each passenger with a pre-paid Oyster Card, facilitating their seamless transition to the tube.
While reliance on public transport is not the norm, it proved to be the quickest solution to salvage the meeting. The chauffeur then navigated the traffic, ensuring a timely arrival to greet the passengers at the conclusion of their meeting, seamlessly continuing the roadshow.
The client commended the Chauffeur for his practical quick thinking and credited him and the Driven Worldwide team for ensuring the roadshow stayed on track.
