In January 2024, as part of a strategic move to consolidate its leading position in the luxury chauffeuring market, Chabé acquired Limo +.

Chabé has recently made a strategic move by acquiring Limo +, a prominent player in the luxury chauffeuring sector. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Chabé’s expansion efforts, particularly in catering to the top end of the market and diversifying its service offering. The acquisition is a natural fit for Chabé’s vision of delivering exceptional luxury transportation experiences.

Limo+ specialises in the top end of the market serving private individuals, private equity, and financial services firms.
Chabé London already has expertise in these markets but with this new acquisition, Chabé will be able to strengthen its leading position.

“The decision to acquire Limo + stems from Chabé’s commitment to enhancing its service portfolio and strengthening its position in key markets” explains David Bruce, Director of Chabé London. “By integrating Limo +’s expertise and resources into our operations, we aim to elevate the level of service we provide to our clients across various verticals we serve. This strategic move not only expands Chabé’s market reach but also reinforces its reputation as a trusted partner for luxury transportation services.”

As Chabé continues to grow and innovate, this acquisition underscores its commitment to excellence and dedication to providing exceptional service to its clients. With the integration of Limo + into its operations, Chabé looks forward to embarking on this new chapter of growth and success.

London-based chauffeur John Davies, who drives for Chabé, has won the Bronze Award in the Professional Driver of the Year category of the prestigious Professional Driver QSi Awards.

Professional Driver Editor Mark Bursa said: “It says a lot for John Davies that when Chabé was starting operations, he was the first driver to be recruited. He’s become something of a ‘team captain’, for the company, with an air of calm professionalism and trustworthiness that is vital when dealing with senior executives of large corporations. Earlier this year he was diagnosed with cancer, but has now been given the all-clear and is back at work.”

Professional Driver magazine’s QSi Awards ceremony was a night to remember for the cream of Britain’s chauffeur and private hire operators. The awards, open to every chauffeur and private hire company in the UK, are designed to recognise operators and individuals that demonstrate excellent standards of Quality, Service and Innovation.

This award recognizes John as a key pillar of our excellent fully employed paye chauffeur team. Chabé remains one of the few chauffeur businesses in London that retains a fully employed, paye chauffeur team.

Congratulations to John for this outstanding achievement, and a big thank you to the entire Chabé team for their continuous support.

Gold, Silver and Bronze awards were presented in 11 categories at a thrilling event, held at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Brighton.

The 11 categories mean there’s something for every size and type of operator, from one-man bands to large fleets. Categories also reward innovations in marketing, environmental performance and local community activities, while a special award – Professional Driver of the Year – singles out a chauffeur or private hire driver who is judged to be the best in the UK.

Mark Bursa said: “The private hire, taxi and chauffeur industry makes an enormous contribution to keeping Britain moving. This year’s Professional Driver QSi Awards recognise those amazing efforts and bring the industry together for a much-needed night of celebration.”

Mark Bursa continued: “This year the QSi Awards celebrated their 10th Birthday. Since 2013 we have awarded more than 300 QSi Awards, and this year we presented our 100th Gold Award. The quality and number of the entries grows every year, and this year it was an especially tough job to pick our winners. Only very good operators made the short list, so we can be sure our Gold, Silver and Bronze winners are among the very best in Britain.”
