Why Use Aegis Personal Transportation and Protection Service?
In an ideal world which would you or your client prefer?
- Drive yourself tens or even hundreds of miles to and from a PA, often at the end of a long days filming - or worse, the day after another PA, with it's resultant late night and possibly following a long night's entertainment?
- Rely on a regular chauffeur-drive company that will provide a standard door to door service, but with the 'meter' ticking not only in terms of time but mileage too, which could (and very probably will) add hundreds of pounds to the original quoted fee?
- Put your personal safety in the hands of often totally inexperienced Door Supervisors, with little or no experience of personal protection. With the probability of them having the venue's agenda as a priority and not your own personal safety or reputation?
- Be picked up from your hotel by a member of the door/bar/promotions staff, wedged into a 'hot hatchback' with dubious insurance policy and hurtled through the town stopping to show off to their mates?
- Having yours, or your client’s, 'goodwill' taken advantage of by a venue's management, resulting in having to do extra time or even additional hours of work at the PA because it would reflect poorly on you to refuse?
OR
- To be picked up exactly on time from wherever you choose in a fully insured, discrete yet comfortable prestige vehicle (with fresh bottled water, newspapers/magazines & tissues)
- Be driven by a personable, polite, articulate and trained security chauffeur with many years experience,
- Arrive on time at the hotel/venue, accompanied whilst at the venue by the same person who has years of experience and training in providing discrete personal security in such venues,
- To have a representative on-hand who will liaise with venue management & security to ensure that the venue achieves the exposure and 'value for money' it wants, whilst not allowing your goodwill or safety to be compromised
- Have someone who will 'make your excuses' should they be required and drive you back home immediately after (or after overnight hotel stay) back to a location of your choosing
- Have transportation and personal protection within a quoted, fixed, affordable cost
We establish a good and close working relationship with each of our clients, often resulting in just a knowing nod or ‘look’ being sufficient to generate an appropriate action in accordance with the client’s needs. The resulting trust that becomes established makes for a smoother PA and a more secure environment, meaning that the client is able to work in a more relaxed manner and always has someone in sight that they know they can rely on, whatever the circumstances.
An Example Of How It Should NOT Be Done!
Take a look at the video of Diana Vickers on stage at The Chapel nightclub in Salisbury. Who was it that caused her to be knocked around, shaken and the performance temporarily terminated? Was it the over-enthusiastic fan who climbed onto the stage, or was it the club's security staff in their attempt to 'protect' her?
In fairness to the security staff at The Chapel nightclub they handle the venue security very well, they are good at what they are trained and have the experience to do. Unfortunately for Diana they are not trained or experienced in personal protection or PA security. We have been to The Chapel nightclub with a number of clients on PAs and have never had the experience of Diana Vickers on that night - Why? because we assess each situation on arrival, organise the security support effectively and are on hand to prevent or deal with breaches such as that seen in the video as quickly and quietly as possible. That's the advantage of having the right people in the right places at the right time - that's the advantage of having your own personal protection.
