SLIDES 6 THRU 8 (AUTOMATED) – COMPANY OVERVIEW – USE THE BELOW AS SLIDES 6-8 RUN
Grand Avenue was founded in 2009 by Carl Haley Jr., who wanted to offer Middle Tennessee a new level of ground transportation service – one that incorporated extraordinary attention to detail.
Since then, the company has grown from one limousine to the largest and most comprehensive ground transportation fleet in the region.
Today, more than 3,000 businesses and individuals nationwide rely on Grand Avenue to transport their employees, customers and special guests to and from more than 450 destinations worldwide.
Our extensive fleet ranges from fuel-efficient sedans to spacious buses, mid-sized coaches to vintage automobiles – all impeccably maintained.
We employ nearly 60 customer relations specialists and professional drivers.
And we’ve experienced this extraordinary growth by achieving a 99% customer satisfaction rate.
As you can see, we’re stable, growing, and capable of serving a wide and diverse range of corporate clients.
Next, I’d like to tell you about Grand Avenue’s three distinct divisions.
Grand Corporate is designed expressly with the needs of business travelers in mind.
Grand Occasion caters to a wide range of customers celebrating special events – like weddings and proms – or requiring transportation to important affairs, such as galas or game days.
Finally, Grand Select is our most exclusive level of service. The hallmark of this division is our customized concierge services.
Now to discuss our services for businesses and corporations …
Another popular service among business clients is our ability to be a mobile office. Our vehicles are equipped with conference tables and WiFi so that clients can stay connected and productive while they travel.

Our Grand Occasion division is dedicated to two core objectives:
We handle every logistic so that our clients can sit back, relax and enjoy important or memorable events with friends, family, colleagues and business associates;
and we elevate the elegance of every occasion.
Whether it’s a wedding, gala affair, company offsite, concert or sporting event, we make sure our clients arrive on time and in style.
We also have on our team dedicated wedding and special occasion who work closely with clients to design transportation packages for large, multi-faceted events.
For example, our wedding planners will walk brides and grooms through every possible option beyond just the wedding day. We help with transportation to and from showers and rehearsal dinners, coordinate airport pick-up and drop-off for out-of-town guests, and can even shuttle all the wedding guests to the reception and back.

We also will arrange for our Grand Select members to receive discounts, reservations and preferred access at select restaurants, venues, golf courses and spas.
We get to know our Grand Select members personally. What their tastes are. What their expectations are. Even what beverages their special guests prefer or their favorite routes to and from work to avoid traffic congestion.
Grand Select is about anticipating every need and being attentive to every detail.
