representatives of the London Cab trade.

City Receptionist Award
Dial-a-Cab received TV coverage from The Big Breakfast on Channel 4. The
programme’s presenter, Denise Van Outen, interviewed the winner of The Times
Dial-a-Cab City Receptionist of the Year Award, Lorna Ewin.
She asked Lorna what skills a good receptionist should possess and how she
won her award. Lorna briefly described the short-listing and judging of the competition,
and mentioned Dial-a-Cab and The Times as the official award sponsors.
The award was also featured on Talk Radio. Presenter Paul Ross
interviewed Lorna on air, again asking what skills a receptionist should have and how the
competition was won. Lorna managed to mention Dial-a-Cab a couple of times during the
broadcast.
