The summer of 2024 will be remembered not only as a moment of global sporting celebration, but also as an extraordinary logistical challenge. This historic event, which captured the world’s attention, also represented a major milestone for Chabé. As a key service provider, the Group played an essential role in transporting thousands of people with remarkable precision and efficiency.
This success is the result of 6 months of intensive preparation. Nearly 2,000 interviews were conducted by a dedicated team of 7 people to select and train chauffeurs capable of meeting the specific needs of this event. Over a period of several days, the 550 chauffeurs recruited benefited from bespoke training provided by our teams, to guarantee an impeccable quality of service.
At the same time, the events team scouted out the various locations to define the best routes between passenger departures and arrivals. Launch meetings were also organised with the various stakeholders.
To meet our clients’ requirements, a team of experts ensured 24/7 availability to deal with requests and unforeseen events in real time, with an optimised response time of 90 minutes.
In this exceptional context, Chabé mobilised considerable resources to ensure the transport of thousands of people across France, in 9 cities (Bordeaux, Châteauroux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice, Saint-Étienne), including Paris.
These services were made possible by the mobilisation of 550 professional chauffeurs, supported by a team of over 300 employees from various departments. The scale of this project illustrates Chabé’s ability to orchestrate bespoke transport solutions that meet the most exacting requirements, while pursuing our day-to-day commitments with the same rigour.
In addition to its operational expertise, Chabé reaffirmed its commitment to social and environmental responsibility. The Group stood out for its strong commitment to inclusion, in particular by recruiting people who are far from employment.
Around 20% of the drivers mobilised for this event were people in rehabilitation, a choice that reflects the company’s values in terms of diversity and inclusion.
Chabé’s commitment to people with reduced mobility was also demonstrated by the adaptation of its fleet. Of the 900 vehicles mobilised for the event, a number were specially designed to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility, ensuring maximum accessibility.
In addition, with a view to reducing the ecological footprint, measures have been taken to optimise journeys and select less polluting vehicles, in line with national environmental objectives.
This event marked a crucial milestone for the family business, demonstrating once again its ability to manage very large-scale operations while maintaining an irreproachable level of service.
For Chabé, this mission represents a high point in its long history, confirming its position as an expert in the bespoke mobility sector and opening up new prospects for the future.
On 4 and 5 October 2024, the town of Villers-Cotterêts and the Grand Palais hosted a historic event: the Francophonie Summit, organised in France for the first time in 33 years. This major international event brought together heads of state and government and influential figures from the French-speaking world to celebrate the richness of the French language and culture.
Chabé had the honour of contributing to this event by providing transport for more than 110 VIPs, including 35 heads of state and government. A fleet of 110 top-of-the-range vehicles was mobilised to ensure smooth, comfortable travel between the various summit sites.
Thanks to meticulous organisation and a tailor-made service, Chabé played a key role in the logistical success of this event, while meeting the security and discretion requirements inherent in this type of diplomatic gathering.
We would like to pay tribute to the professionalism and dedication of the 110 drivers mobilised for the occasion. Their expertise and commitment reflected the values of excellence and service that have characterised Chabé for over a century.
This summit highlights our ability to accompany major international events, while celebrating the French-speaking world and its influence throughout the world.

In January 2024, as part of a strategic move to consolidate its leading position in the luxury chauffeuring market, Chabé acquired Limo +.
Chabé has recently made a strategic move by acquiring Limo +, a prominent player in the luxury chauffeuring sector. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Chabé’s expansion efforts, particularly in catering to the top end of the market and diversifying its service offering. The acquisition is a natural fit for Chabé’s vision of delivering exceptional luxury transportation experiences.
Limo+ specialises in the top end of the market serving private individuals, private equity, and financial services firms.
Chabé London already has expertise in these markets but with this new acquisition, Chabé will be able to strengthen its leading position.
“The decision to acquire Limo + stems from Chabé’s commitment to enhancing its service portfolio and strengthening its position in key markets” explains David Bruce, Director of Chabé London. “By integrating Limo +’s expertise and resources into our operations, we aim to elevate the level of service we provide to our clients across various verticals we serve. This strategic move not only expands Chabé’s market reach but also reinforces its reputation as a trusted partner for luxury transportation services.”
As Chabé continues to grow and innovate, this acquisition underscores its commitment to excellence and dedication to providing exceptional service to its clients. With the integration of Limo + into its operations, Chabé looks forward to embarking on this new chapter of growth and success.
London-based chauffeur John Davies, who drives for Chabé, has won the Bronze Award in the Professional Driver of the Year category of the prestigious Professional Driver QSi Awards.
Professional Driver Editor Mark Bursa said: “It says a lot for John Davies that when Chabé was starting operations, he was the first driver to be recruited. He’s become something of a ‘team captain’, for the company, with an air of calm professionalism and trustworthiness that is vital when dealing with senior executives of large corporations. Earlier this year he was diagnosed with cancer, but has now been given the all-clear and is back at work.”
Professional Driver magazine’s QSi Awards ceremony was a night to remember for the cream of Britain’s chauffeur and private hire operators. The awards, open to every chauffeur and private hire company in the UK, are designed to recognise operators and individuals that demonstrate excellent standards of Quality, Service and Innovation.
This award recognizes John as a key pillar of our excellent fully employed paye chauffeur team. Chabé remains one of the few chauffeur businesses in London that retains a fully employed, paye chauffeur team.
Congratulations to John for this outstanding achievement, and a big thank you to the entire Chabé team for their continuous support.
Gold, Silver and Bronze awards were presented in 11 categories at a thrilling event, held at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Brighton.
The 11 categories mean there’s something for every size and type of operator, from one-man bands to large fleets. Categories also reward innovations in marketing, environmental performance and local community activities, while a special award – Professional Driver of the Year – singles out a chauffeur or private hire driver who is judged to be the best in the UK.
Mark Bursa said: “The private hire, taxi and chauffeur industry makes an enormous contribution to keeping Britain moving. This year’s Professional Driver QSi Awards recognise those amazing efforts and bring the industry together for a much-needed night of celebration.”
Mark Bursa continued: “This year the QSi Awards celebrated their 10th Birthday. Since 2013 we have awarded more than 300 QSi Awards, and this year we presented our 100th Gold Award. The quality and number of the entries grows every year, and this year it was an especially tough job to pick our winners. Only very good operators made the short list, so we can be sure our Gold, Silver and Bronze winners are among the very best in Britain.”
