THE PERFECTIONIST<br />
Ever wondered what makes the cars sparkle so brightly <strong>in</strong> Qu<strong>in</strong>ta<br />
do Lago? It’s rarely due <strong>to</strong> hours spent by their proud owners,<br />
who usually have far more enjoyable th<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>to</strong> do with their time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> answer is Paulo.<br />
Paulo is the man beh<strong>in</strong>d Plat<strong>in</strong>um Valet. His bus<strong>in</strong>ess is work<strong>in</strong>g<br />
magic on your car while you enjoy life <strong>to</strong> the full.<br />
However, it is almost difficult not <strong>to</strong> envy Paulo; after all, not only<br />
does he get <strong>to</strong> work on the most beautiful au<strong>to</strong>mobiles ever<br />
created, but he keeps some very good company <strong>to</strong>o. His little<br />
black book of clients <strong>in</strong>cludes some of the world’s <strong>to</strong>p VIPs. Of<br />
course, be<strong>in</strong>g the true professional that he is, Paulo would never<br />
divulge any details.<br />
What he can never s<strong>to</strong>p talk<strong>in</strong>g about though, is his passion for<br />
the cars <strong>and</strong> his job. “I absolutely love it!” says Paulo, who started<br />
his bus<strong>in</strong>ess nearly two years ago. “<strong>The</strong> clients are great, the cars<br />
are <strong>in</strong>credible, <strong>and</strong> the bus<strong>in</strong>ess is go<strong>in</strong>g well – so my wife is<br />
happy <strong>to</strong>o. What more can I want?”<br />
Critical <strong>to</strong> Paulo’s popularity with Qu<strong>in</strong>ta do Lago’s proud car<br />
owners is not just the sheer amount of care that goes <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> his<br />
work protect<strong>in</strong>g his clients’ <strong>in</strong>vestments, it’s <strong>in</strong> large part due <strong>to</strong><br />
the excellent relationships he builds with his clients – many of<br />
them trust him with his own keys <strong>to</strong> their cars.<br />
“What’s so special about Paulo is just how seriously he takes his<br />
work,” says Qu<strong>in</strong>ta <strong>Properties</strong>’ Alison Højbjerg. “He has an<br />
<strong>in</strong>credible service ethic which sh<strong>in</strong>es through <strong>in</strong> everyth<strong>in</strong>g he<br />
does for clients. He’s a real asset <strong>to</strong> the local community.”<br />
Drive <strong>around</strong> Qu<strong>in</strong>ta do Lago <strong>and</strong> it’s likely you’ll soon spot one<br />
of Paulo’s vans kitted out with all the latest professional<br />
equipment <strong>and</strong> products. <strong>The</strong>y’re also fully powered with<br />
electricity, clean water, <strong>and</strong> all the gadgets imag<strong>in</strong>able.<br />
Paulo himself has become one of Qu<strong>in</strong>ta do Lago’s local<br />
treasures – even the police s<strong>to</strong>p <strong>to</strong> say “hello” as he weaves his<br />
spell on yet another luxury car.<br />
So what does the future hold for Plat<strong>in</strong>um Valet? “More teams,”<br />
Paulo hopes, “extend<strong>in</strong>g our services, perhaps even bridg<strong>in</strong>g over<br />
<strong>to</strong> southern Spa<strong>in</strong>.” But don’t fear. Paulo won’t be go<strong>in</strong>g<br />
anywhere yet. “My teams can exp<strong>and</strong>,” he says, “but I shall always<br />
stay with the best – <strong>in</strong> Qu<strong>in</strong>ta do Lago!”<br />
