H1N1 Influenza A - Minimising the Risk

Our Taxis have been sanitized

You have most likely heard about it; read about it, been told about it or even experienced it. We can't really stop it, but at Gold Band Taxis we are committed to minimising the risk of spreading the H1N1 strain.

How are we doing this? Simple..

We are working smarter to keep our customers and drivers safer. We are actively taking steps to reduce the risk of Influenza A. Every Gold Band Taxi will have a "Pandemic Pack" consisting of Antibacterial sprays, gloves, masks and hand wash gel. Depending on the sanitising method, this will be used as required; daily, or weekly to sanitise the vehicle for the customers and drivers protection. Also provided in the custom pack are Antibacterial wipes to clean down high contact surface areas.

Our committment doesn't stop with the drivers either! Staff in our call centre and administration office also have available Antibacterial hand wash, gloves, masks and wipes. It's all just a small part of our larger action plan.

So when you travel in a Gold Band Taxi you can just relax! We have thought ahead and taken many practical precautions to keep you safe.

*** Gold Band Taxis : WORKING SMARTER *** Just a few comments from our Customers *** LYNN AMBLER : "I was biking to work in the early hours of Tuesday morning when I got a flat tyre - "oh goody!" I thought as i was just by the Botanical Gardens where it's all dark, shadowy and who knows what's lurking around. I work in town so started walking hoping that nothing was going to jump out at me but not really sure what else I could do - no point in ringing a cab as didn't think they would be able to take my bike. I got down by the hospital when one of your vans passed me. I walked around the corner and the driver had pulled over to see if i was okay. He kindly offered to take me and my bike to work and I arrived safe and sound. When there are so many negative things in our world it is nice to know that there are still good people out there that are willing to help someone else.." *** LIZ LOVELL ( OFFICE OF HON GERRY BROWNLEE ) : "I Left my phone in the taxi and the driver - Eddie - found it and tracked me down to the Mayoral Suite and came up to return it to me. I don't know how he found out where I was in the building! It meant the world to me as I was panicking and so worried as I did not know where I had lost it. Please pass on my sincere thanks to him." *** CLARRIE & JIM DALLARD ( WINDSOR HOUSE - RESIDENTS ) : "On Sunday 24th May I had occasion to use a wheel chair taxis from your firm, to take my wife, who is both blind and unable to walk, on a short outing to New Brighton beach car park where she could oth smell and hear the sea. I was some what apprehensive of her reaction as she had not been able to travel in a vehicle for over a year. I need not have worried, the driver, a lady ( Chris No.308 ) struck up an instant rapprt with my wife and put her at ease, and made our 62nd wedding anniversary day, one to remember. I could not let this occasion pass without also passing on our grateful thanks to Gold Band." *** CHRIS STIRLING ( CHATEAU ON THE PARK - HEAD CONCIERGE ) : "Thanks Gold Band for setting us off on a great Christmas spirit. Thank you to all the great drivers this year and we look forward to working with you all in the New Year." *** GARY THOMAS ( HOLIDAY INN ON AVON - FRONT OFFICE MANAGER ) : "Service is always very good. The staff are always very polite on the phone and this promotion was done in a fair way." *** BRUCE NOLAN ( POPLARS APARTMENTS - FRONT OFFICE MANAGER ) : "Great promotion we really thrashed the Gold Band's number over the past three months." *** MARK SHILLITO ( CHATEAU BLANC - HOTEL MANAGER ) : "Enjoyed getting behind the promotion. Love talking to your phoneroom staff particularly Naomi & Pippa." *** LYNN BREACH ( BEALEY'S HOTEL - ACCOMMODATION MANAGER ) : "Gives the girls an incentive. Gold Band Taxis are reliable, on time and very flexible." ***
