A new record

  

We are not even through September and yet we have beaten some of our records already. It has been extremely busy period for all of the TBR departments and it is definitely paying off. We were thrilled that TBR Scotland managed more jobs in one day than has never been achieved before. On top of that our corporate team had their busiest week ever too. Well done team TBR!

It has not been all work and no play as we got to attend the Inspiring City Awards 2014 in the Radisson Blu in Glasgow. Our managing Director Craig chambers was nominated for the award of “Outstanding Contribution by a young business leader”. Unfortunately he did not win but a great night was had by the team who went. Pictures from the awards night can been seen on our Facebook page, so go have a look and see how we scrub up for a black tie event.

Hong Kong International Events

This month TBR Global has supplied two important international events in Hong-Kong for the trademark and art industries. Both events have received thousands of international participants and have been a great success for our team.


The first event has been organized by INTA, one of the largest global associations of trademark owners, professionals and academics. The INTA’s annual meeting -the 136th for the INTA association- is one of the trademark industry’s premier events of the year.


TBR Global has ensured the ground logistics for a dozen of law firms that during five days -from the 10th to the 14th of May- successfully attended some of the conferences, educational sessions and programs featured by INTA.

From the 15th to the 18th of May, the Art Basel show also took place in Hong-Kong. The show traced twelve decades of art history across its six sectors -galleries, insights, discoveries, encounters, magazines and film- as well as offered extensive opportunities for artists, collectors and visitors.


TBR Global accomplished the logistic service for our VIP clients including daily tours and in-town transfers as well as on-site coordination. For the event, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Hong-Kong Island, TBR daily provided over twelve cars and achieved a very positive feedback from our clients.

TBR VIP Vehicles

Alongside TBRs regular fleet of Mercedes S Class and Mercedes E Class, we also have executive vehicles used for high net worth clients and VIP passengers; with the most recent member of our fleet being the exclusive new Range Rover.

TBR has invested in the Range Rover to reinforce the values which the company holds; the top priorities being quality and customer satisfaction. The Range Rover also has a focus on security, coupled with TBR’s specifically trained drivers; the Range Rover is the vehicle of choice for the high net worth client. The priority usage of the vehicle will be aimed at the likes of Artists and VIP’s travelling to and from high profile events in complete security; CEO’s/Senior Management travelling on high interest Roadshows; Air Show Hosts or passengers with a requirement for a high security vehicle.

TBR VIP Clients

TBR caters various business areas; from executive business travel, to event transportation, financial Roadshows and VIP chauffeuring. TBR has always had a presence in VIP Transportation.

TBR have a VIP reservation specialist that will manage the entire process; striving to meet all requirements of our VIP clients. We will deploy our highly trained security drivers; vehicles reinforced with additional safety features. At TBR we understand that there may be many risks involved in the transportation of our clients, therefore we ensure that all precautions are taken to make their journey as comfortable and stress-free as possible. 

Customer profiling is highly important to distinguish the exact requirements of the passenger; still/sparkling water, carbonated drinks, crisps and sweets, a specific car temperature or a specified driver. Therefore, providing a heavily personalised service around their needs.


We know there can be a high security risk, TBR drivers are therefore trained in escort driving, anti surveillance, evasive driving and in depth car control. 

Additional internal security precautions can be taken where the Home Address of the VIP is not shown on any of our systems; the only individual who has access to it is the driver who will be performing the transfer. It will just be shown on the TBR system as “Home Address” with no detailed information.


A security risk assessment is taken place to investigate an area and highlight if there is any unexpected or expected risk at any point of the journey. This assessment will be printed for the driver and precautions will be taken or areas can be avoided.


VIP Travel is not a new concept for TBR; we have a valued portfolio of VIP clients from various industry backgrounds. TBR transports many valued individuals in many cities throughout the world, as well as working with VIP companies at their specific events.


TBR have an obsession with Quality, which is one of the contributing factors for our success in the VIP Chauffeuring area, with our renowned Global Presence also making us extremely sought after by these types of clients.

Managing Client Itinerary

TBR is the proud leading Roadshow Specialist in the ground transportation industry. One of the key reasons for this title is due to the global presence of TBR in the industry, functioning in worldwide countries with a large client base; predominantly with top investment banks. TBR has a dedicated team of Roadshow specialists with over 50 years combined Roadshow experience across every region and sector.

Organising a Roadshow:

Our in-house Roadshow team offer a complete Roadshow support service and manage bookings round the clock, ensuring consistent high quality service levels are maintained throughout the entire Roadshow:

• The TBR Roadshow Reservations team manage global itineraries on a daily basis. The client will send their itinerary; including city location, each drop-off location with all addresses, times and requirements for each location and each passenger. 

• At TBR we believe that having the same Reservations coordinator for the entire experience is a key element to our success and high quality. This is also beneficial for the client as they will remain reassured throughout, as they know TBR are fully in control of operations. 

• After the itinerary from the client is broken down by the reservations team, it will be correlated and organised into the TBR system; highlighting airport transfers, travel times and meeting addresses. 

• The management of our supplier is essential to the efficiency of the itinerary and the schedule of the drivers around the world. TBR use a central system which the supplier can access, giving them all the information they require on the job. The TBR system allows all changes to be updated to the same place, as there is 1 centralised storage area; this ensures there are fewer avenues for mistakes and updates can be easily followed. The supplier must confirm their job to inform the TBR reservations team that the driver is on the job and everything is running smoothly. 

• When the job is confirmed and saved it will be updated on the TBR system and an automatic confirmation will be sent out to the client, including such information; date, time, confirmation reference, pick up and drop off locations, drivers name and mobile and the driver car phone number. This information will be sent out when the job is confirmed to ensure plenty of time for error modifications. 

• When the Roadshow is under way, the Roadshow Team will be ensuring all information is being updates and changes in times or diversions are amended correctly.

Group Travel

At TBR we have a range of vehicles we use for the daily requirements of the global ground transportation industry; therefore we are equipped to handle any size of transfer with any type of client. The Mercedes Viano is TBR’s vehicle of choice when providing ground transportation for groups of 3-7 passengers due to the luxury and quality that this vehicle hosts.


Mercedes Viano:

The Mercedes Viano is recognised globally as the No. 1 vehicle for VIP’s travelling in groups. The TBR fleet includes the Mercedes Viano in the long wheelbase model which offers multiple seating configurations, including conference style, making it ideal for on the road meetings and conferences. The Mercedes Viano can be extremely useful as well as high in quality; due to the spacious interior that allows for a central hub for clients on business travel. This type of vehicle is ideally used for a group of CEO’s or Senior Management travelling on financial Roadshows; events travel with high volumes of support staff; and multiple passengers with long transfers between cities.

VW Caravelle: 

The Volkswagen Caravelle can also be used for group ground transportations, however it is not a vehicle used by TBR due to the Viano being a much superior comparison with higher luxury and quality; internally and externally. Both vehicles cater for the same capacity of passengers but the additional luxury of the Viano is why TBR have chosen the vehicle for our high standard fleet. The Mercedes Viano also has continuity with the TBR fleet as it has a majority consistency of Mercedes vehicles which allows our clients to recognise the vehicles when we are picking up from a destination; this is especially important with airport transfers. 

At TBR we continue to be consistent with our transportation modes and without company values; keeping quality and efficiency high with regard to the TBR trained drivers and the professionalism they exert throughout any journey.
