A Colmore Row chauffeur, booked directly, suits the law firms, banks and professional services businesses concentrated around Colmore Row. These firms run on two things above almost everything else: tight schedules and discretion. So it's exactly the kind of environment where a named chauffeur tends to suit a business better than a taxi app. After all, an app pulls from a general pool of drivers.
Why discretion matters for a Colmore Row chauffeur
Think of a partner travelling to a sensitive negotiation, or a client you're collecting ahead of a confidential meeting. In that situation, you don't want the journey logged through a third-party app, with driver details you have no relationship with. Instead, a direct booking with a firm Apex client account means a named Colmore Row chauffeur. It also means the same standards of confidentiality, every time.
Reliability during a working day
Colmore Row businesses often book chauffeur travel around a working day rather than a single trip. For example, there might be a client pickup mid-morning, then a partner to a court appointment at short notice. After that, there could be transport to a client site in the afternoon. A firm with a corporate account can book each Colmore Row chauffeur journey directly, one after another. As a result, you keep a consistent point of contact, rather than starting from scratch through an app each time.
Short-notice bookings
Professional services work doesn't always run to a diary set weeks in advance. A hearing moves forward, or a client meeting appears at the last minute. However, Apex's local base in Birmingham makes short-notice bookings around the city centre, and Colmore Row specifically, genuinely achievable. In other words, that's not just a promise on a website.
Confidentiality as standard, not a special request
For firms that need it, we can put a confidentiality agreement in place as part of setting up a corporate account. It covers how we handle booking and passenger data. So if client or matter confidentiality is relevant to how your business travels, ask for this directly.

Frequently asked questions
Is a chauffeur service actually faster than a taxi app for short-notice city centre bookings?
Often, yes, for a firm with an existing account and a known pickup location. That's because the driver already knows the address and the account's standard requirements. So we can often arrange the booking faster than you could start from scratch on an app.
Can a confidentiality agreement be put in place for sensitive client work?
Yes, we can arrange this as part of setting up a corporate account. Just ask directly when you get in touch.
Do law firms and finance businesses get a different service to other corporate clients?
The service itself is consistent across all corporate accounts. What changes is the level of confidentiality and account structure you agree at setup, based on what your business needs.
