Compliance Officers report

Hello Ladies & Gents,

   The competition out in the market place has never been greater and if you listen to the media, it’s hard to ignore the constant phone-ins on our industry, some positive and some not so positive, which seems always to have been the case.
   The late evening and early hours taxi-sharing scheme at Leicester Square has also drummed up a lot of debate. I am sure I do not need to remind you that we are in the service sector and must always be aware of our commitment to the Society and the need to show true professionalism – it is what keeps us ahead of the rest and will continue to do so.
   It is almost impossible not to notice that we are fast approaching a general election and we must hope that whichever party takes Government - new or old - will help maintain the economic recovery, albeit very fragile at the moment but nonetheless an improvement.
   Although I have mentioned 

Allan Evans
customer care in many of my previous articles, I feel that the time is right to remind you once again of the need to be helpful, obliging and respectful of client’s wishes at all times
   Many passengers use the services of Dial-a-Cab on a very regular basis and in the main are fully aware of their terms and conditions. Quite rightly, they expect the high levels of service that they are accustomed to. They are within their rights to question meter run-ins and may even ask you, the driver, to take a preferred route - Please be respectful to their wishes.
  
Complaints received of passengers treated less than courteously or even rudely, does
not bode well of our Society and although far from commonplace, it is my duty to once again politely ask you to treat clients the way you would like to be treated yourselves. Some of our customers may occasionally require assistance and may need a brief explanation of why a meter run-in is slightly higher than normal, so at the risk of repeating myself - unless otherwise authorised - please do not exceed the relevant amounts on the meter at booked time or on arrival if it is an ASAP trip.
   Finally can I remind you that unless you joined the Society prior to 1996,
it is a procedure rule that the company logo be displayed at all times on your taxi. The up-to-date list of procedure rules are available from the on-line edition of the Drivers Manual, which can be found at www.dialacab.co.uk, following the link to the Member’s Portal and then the Driver’s Manual.

The Seyhan and Mehmet Memorial Cup Tournament

Upton Park Sunday 16th May 2010 Kick Off 18.00 Entrance by donation

   Please come and support us at this unique charity event at West Ham United FC, Boleyn Ground, Green Street, Upton Park, London E13 9AZ. This event will host a gathering of London Taxi drivers and friends with all money raised going towards helping to find a cure for Ewings Sarcoma (a form of bone cancer) and helping to save future lives.
   This annual charity event has been organised since 2005 in the memory of two brothers, both of whom died from Ewings Sarcoma. Seyhan Ali had Ewings Sarcoma from 2003 and passed away in 2005 aged just 14. Seyhan’s brother Mehmet had a different form of Ewings Sarcoma from 2007 and in 2009 he too tragically passed away, aged 29. This is truly awful disease, which we must find a cure for. With your support and the wonderful work of the Bone Cancer Research Trust, we can all work together to find a cure.
   To find out more information about this event in memory of Mehmet and Seyhan, you can visit The Memorial Cup website at
http://memorial-cup.moonfruit.com.
   Come along to the Boleyn Ground on 16 May and support this memorial event to raise money for the Bone Cancer Research Trust.
   Many thanks...
