Page 6 Remember – You saw it first in the Globe! 15 August 2012 HAILO, THE BLACK CAB APP THAT’S WINNING BACK THE WORK! It only seems like yesterday that Hailo was launched. That was almost a year ago but since then things have certainly moved in the right direction. Hailo now has over 5500 registered drivers which makes us the largest network of drivers in London. We now have over 100,000 account customers and that figure is growing by on average a staggering 500 per day! More and more drivers are saying that Hailo is the best thing to happen to the taxi trade. Around 80% of our passengers are saying that they used to use Private Hire and they are loving Hailo. If you haven’t joined yet why don’t you pop into our driver office at 51 Great Suffolk Street and find out what is the talk of the taxi trade and do something positive. Hailo is black cab only and is winning the work back…over to you! DRIVER TIP: MAXIMISE YOUR IPHONE GPS Part of the Hailo driver experience includes being offered quality jobs where (and when) you need them. But while we offer many features and technology that help us deliver on this promise, there are a few things out of our direct control that can improve your experience with the Hailo driver network. For example, the GPS technology on your phone that the Hailo app uses to match your with nearby passengers can be hampered by a poor mobile reception. One simple way to “turbo-charge” the performance of your GPS is to combine it with your phone’s wifi function. But as you may have encountered before, having wifi enabled can result in your phone constantly trying to log onto networks as you move through London. In order to prevent this, but still receive the ‘turbo-charge’ effect on your phone’s GPS, follow these steps: 1. Tap Settings 2. Tap WiFi Networks 3. Toggle the ‘Ask to Join Networks’ button to the ‘Off’ position Making this one simple adjustment can help improve the performance of your GPS without affecting the overall speed and performance of your iPhone. LONDON DJS LOVING HAILO TAXI APP Maybe it’s the odd hours they work or maybe, or maybe like so many others, they are simply fans of the service black cabbies provide, but ever since Richard Bacon sent us that incredible endorsement via Twitter shortly after our launch, we’ve been receiving amazing support from local radio personalities. This kind of endorsement means a great deal to Hailo and all the taxi drivers we work with. The more Londoners learn about our drivers and app, the more we can focus on delivering even more great features. JAZZY B ON BBC LONDON Recently, one of our drivers tweeted that modern soul legend and superb London DJ Jazzy B had given black cabbies and Hailo a nice little mention on his fab Back 2 Life show on BBC London. Jazzy, this just may be the coolest shout out we’ll ever get. Thanks. Russell Hall, Founder HAILO | HMS President, Victoria Embankment, London.

15 August 2012 Remember – You saw it first in the Globe! Page 7 ON HER MAJESTEY’S OLYMPIC SERVICE The London 2012 Olympics are focusing the eyes of the world on the newly created London E20 postcode where, a majority of the activity is taking place. This includes the staggering Opening Ceremony, created by Oscar-winning film director Danny Boyle – the Ceremony was watched live by an estimated one billion people worldwide. One of the most memorable moments was the short film “Happy and Glorious”, which saw Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II parachute from a helicopter above the Olympic Stadium moments before landing safely and taking her seat in the Royal Box. She did this in the company of James Bond who had just arrived at Buckingham Palace in a London taxi supplied by The London Cab Company Ltd. Company director Gary Zylberszac received a call in April requesting two identical iconic Fairways for a secret project called BBC 2012. These are kept in stock, because identical vehicles are often required as a time saving exercise. This is so the crew can shoot one cab from the outside while preparing its twin with cameras and lights for the internal shot. When the vehicles were delivered to The Mall they were searched by the police before being driven onto the forecourt of Buckingham Palace. It was a typical April day with heavy rain showers and then brilliant sunshine (as seen in the final cut of the film). Filming took place between the rain showers when the cab was waved through the front gates of Buckingham Palace by the police, reversed out and repeated time and time again, much to the bemusement of all the watching tourists. The road was then closed to traffic while a helicopter carrying cameras swooped down low over the Mall tracking the cab for its arrival. For continuity the day was spent mainly leathering off rainwater from the Fairway between takes. Strangely enough, one of the cabs used that day was the “hero” vehicle in a previous Danny Boyle cult film “28 Days Later”. Here a group of people attempt to escape from the ‘plague’ in a London taxi owned by one of the characters! Once “Happy and Glorious” was shown at the Opening Ceremony there was a sudden burst of comments on Twitter thanking James Bond for supporting London’s cab trade during the Olympics while being sidelined by the LOCOG, the ODA and TfL. Daniel Craig is not the only James Bond to have been a passenger in one of The FANTASTIC NEWS!!!

Pierce Brosnan was also a previous ‘passenger’ driven by company director Gary Zylberszac in a New York cab featured in “Mama Mia- The Movie” which was shot outside the Lloyds Building in the City. The London Cab Company Ltd has been supplying cabs for film shoots since the late 1990s. In that time the prop cabs have appeared in thousands of scenes from student films to TV programmes to adverts and major Hollywood movies taking instructions from such great directors as Paul Greengrass, Woody Allen and Clint Eastwood. Whenever London features as part of the storyline, lots of taxis are used to emphasis the point it is London. Our vehicles have appeared in “The Bourne Ultimatum”, “Stormbreaker” and “The Da Vinci Code”. In “National Treasure II - Book of Secrets” starring Nick Cage, there was a four minute stunt filled car chase through central London featuring a Fullers beer lorry, Mercedes, Range Rover and a Fairway carrying The London Cab Company logo on the doors as a tribute to their assistance in the project.
