Jet Set Limo Hire in Blackpool have announced a complete sell out of stretch limos to go to Wembley.

Jet Set Limousines boss Kevin Hinds said “It’s been absolute chaos on the telephones over the last 48 hours and all limos are now hired for the Blackpool V Cardiff City play-off final at Wembley. We have even had to bring in extra limos from outside of the area to cope with demand and even they are all now hired.”

Jet Set would like to wish Blackpool FC and Morecambe FC the very best of luck in the play-offs this season.

Kia Shaw, 10, suffers from a rare genetic disorder and won a chauffeured lift to Holy Trinity Primary School yesterday.

The year six pupil chose to take four members of staff along for the ride, as well as three of her friends.

Kia said: “It was a really nice surprise when I heard I’d be going in a limousine with the teachers as they are my best friends.

“They’ve always been really nice to me and I love going to school.”

Kia has Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, a condition that stops the immune system from working. There are only about 50 families affected in the United Kingdom and it can potentially be fatal.

Carol Halligan, Kia’s mum, said she was really happy to see her daughter enjoying herself so much.

She said: “It was emotional and she hid behind me crying with joy when the limousine pulled up. As they drove off you could hear them all having a great time.

“Kia doesn’t realise how bad her condition is and doesn’t dwell on it.

“There’s never a dull moment though and she’s such a happy child.”

Fellow pupils Jodie Fowler, 10, Kira Billington, 11, and Ben Shorrock, 10, together with headteacher Mark Standen, year five teacher Carol Knight, teacher Julia Pearson, and support worker Cath Fox filled the stretched limo.

The journey began at the family home, in Starkey Street, at 8am yesterday, before arriving at the Bank Top school in time for the first lesson of the day.

Mrs Knight said: “It was brilliant inside the limousine.

“Kia was in her element listening to her favourite CDs and waving at all the kids as we drove past.

“She is an inspiration to the other pupils and will be sorely missed when she leaves for St Wilfrid’s High School in September.”

Kia entered a monthly competition with Jet Set Limousines in Lancashire to win the trip.

Jet Set Limousines boss Kevin Hinds announces plans to double the Blackpool & Preston chauffeur workforce within 12 months.

He said “Customer demand for our limo hire service throughout Lancashire and Greater Manchester is still growing and we are continuing to add vehicles to the fleet to meet this demand.

As a company we have always tried to grow organically and our reputation is built on the professionalism and customer service skills of our award winning chauffeur team. Good chauffeurs don’t grow on trees, but we can’t grow without more chauffeurs so we have planned a rolling induction training program for the next 12 months which hopefully will allow us to find some real new potential talent out there.”

The recession doesn’t appear to have dampened enthusiasm for luxury limo travel and Jet Set Limousines are looking to find some as yet undiscovered chauffeurs who will be moulded into shape to become part of the Jet Set Chauffeur team which has a reputation for being world class.

Hello and thank you to Kevin , Kate, and Patrick at Jetset Limos.

We can’t thank you enough for making our daughter’s 13th birthday so very special. She is still on cloud 9 and just keeps on re-living the moment!

From the moment I spoke with Kevin, i knew it was the right choice.

Kate was fantastic when we got seperated from the limo and she contacted us regularly to make sure we were on the right track and arrived safely- thanks again.

Patrick was absolutely amazing. He made them feel so at ease with his humour and friendliness, and he certainly played a huge part in making the day unforgettable for them all. He has tremendous patience and charm! Thank you Patrick.

For everyone out there who is thinking of hiring a limo, look no further- no one will look after you better than Jetset Limos!

13 Seat 4×4 Limo for Hire and Reward in Lancashire.

Jet Set announce the arrival of the latest addition to the limousine fleet.

The incredible new two-tone Ford Excursion 4×4 limo is a stunning limo inside and out and boasts custom Black over Silver paintwork, amazing cream leather interior featuring full length champagne bar, 4 flat screen TV’s, high end sound systems, mirrored ceiling, fibreoptic and colour changing neon lighting as well as a unique VIP seating area.

Largest fleet of limousines  in Lancashire.

Limo boss Kevin Hinds is particularly excited about the new limo.

He explained “This new Ford 4×4 limo brings a whole new concept to limo hire in Preston, Blackpool & Lancashire for anyone wanting to carry more than 8 passengers in a low risk hire contract”.

“At the risk of being too technical, other 13 or 14 seat limos in Blackpool & Preston do not meet UK bus safety standards and have not been issued with the much sought after certificate of initial fitness. This means that they cannot legally be operated unless they are being offered under a self drive hire contract. Self drive hire is not regulated in the same way as hire & reward passenger transport so there is no legal requirement for the vehicle to undergo regular safety checks or pass safety laws designed to protect paying passengers in the UK.

Some unscrupulous limo operators are not making this clear when people call to enquire about hiring these larger limos and of course, this can lead to hirers being unclear about their obligations under the hire contract. What is worse is that if police discover that the hirer did not arrange their own driver, the hire can be terminated on the spot and the vehicle impounded thus ruining the party”.

.

Jet Set Limousines new limo is the only one in the area to have had all of the expensive modifications carried out and does have a certificate of initial fitness which means it is regulated by the traffic commissioners under the bus operator regulations. Hirers can now hire in safety and be confident that there will be no nasty surprises on their big night out.

Just remember to hire a Jet Set Limousine. It’s the big name in limo hire, and one you can trust to provide the newest and safest vehicles with the finest chauffeurs in the industry.
