Chabé, a family business since 1921 and an expert in the bespoke mobility sector, has established itself as a long-standing service provider to luxury hotels. With a view to perpetuating its long-standing relationship with these actors, the Group is proud to welcome Aurélie Vaux as Hotels Manager.

With 20 years of experience in the hotel industry, Aurélie is actively involved in developing customer relations. In this interview, the Group takes a look back at her career path, her motivations and the vision that unites Chabé and its hotels.

 

Aurélie VAUX

Can you tell us about your previous experience in the hotel industry?

The sales field in which I’ve worked since I started out has given me two areas of expertise: multi-segment sales development and project management.

In my career, I’ve held the positions of Sales Director for a hotel (NH, Concorde) then for a multi-property (B Signature) and group-wide (Millésime). My last role involved representing the brand internationally and defining its positioning through strategic actions with our partners.

Finally, team management, now indirect, has always played a major role in my career.

 

What attracted you to Chabé and why did you join the Group?

I love the richness of a family business that has stood the test of time. There’s a real history behind the name. It was a constant quest for excellence and an unrivalled knowledge of luxury transport that made me want to join Chabé.

Discovering a sector that is satellite to the hotel industry, with the same high standards of quality and acting as a white label for hotels, is a way for me to keep one foot in the exciting world of hospitality.

Today I’m wearing a different suit, but the fundamentals of the business remain the same.  My commercial and operational skills have been transferred to an exceptional clientele whose codes I know well. Returning to a hotel network that I’m particularly fond of is also an advantage in terms of customer relations.

 

You have acquired a great deal of experience in the hotel industry. Have you already identified the challenges you expect to face at Chabé?

Mastering each contract and its specific features is essential in order to deliver a bespoke service to the hotel. On this key point, the parameter that changes the game for me is the time factor, because the immediacy of assignments is even more pronounced in the luxury transport environment. Added to this are the challenges posed by external traffic factors and unforeseen events, which we have to deal with constantly in order to anticipate on a daily basis.

One of the hallmarks of our relationship of trust is the longevity of our partners. Some of them have been with us for over 60 years. This longevity is just as significant as it is with our employees. On a less official note, I have a few friends who worked for Chabé 20 years ago and who are still raving about their professional experience. It is the employees of the past and present who remain the company’s best ambassadors.

 

What is your vision for the development of the long-term relationship between Chabé and the hotels?

Like a beehive, there are many of us working together to ensure the success of our commitments. Our understanding of the challenges faced by each establishment we serve, its organisation, its clientele and its strategy, inspires us to think continuously and inexhaustibly about how we can improve our services. We operate in a microcosm where we have to keep abreast of the latest developments, concepts and openings. Some of our projects abroad may be driven by our customers’ desire to support them on an international level.

Chabé, the bespoke expert in event transport, continues to establish itself as a major player in the world of racquet sports. Chabé once again demonstrated its ability to manage highly sought-after sporting events at several major international competitions held in Paris between May and November this year.

 

Organising these 3 tournaments is a real challenge, requiring meticulous preparation several months in advance. In fact, over 7 months of organisation were needed to put on these major events, to accompany over 56,000 people through almost 27,000 disposal services.

On average…

Our teams were on the ground for 31 consecutive days, 7 days a week, ready to meet the needs of the sportsmen and women and the organisers…

Nearly than 140 chauffeurs were mobilised to guarantee a quality service for these 3 events

More than 90 partner vehicles, 74% of them low-carbon vehicles

A 20-strong team of experts at each tournament was dedicated to the overall coordination of the event.

These figures reflect the team spirit that drives Chabé, one of our core values, and consolidate our position as an expert in event transport. We are proud to support competitions of this scale and to contribute to their success.

 

At Chabé, our expertise in event transport goes hand in hand with our commitment to environmental responsibility. We are delighted to support environmentally conscious events and to contribute to the success of these internationally renowned competitions while working towards a greener future.

Chabé’s confidence rests on its employees, because we firmly believe that determination in their profession emerges from the opportunities we offer them.

Today, the family business is proud to share the story of Patricia Requier, a committed and passionate employee.

 

During her years at lycée, Patricia accumulated a number of summer jobs, working in sometimes demanding conditions, whether in catering, on the marshes or during the grape harvest. These early experiences instilled in her valuable skills and invaluable perseverance.

Patricia decided to leave her native Normandy to explore new opportunities in Paris. At the age of 21, she found a job as a waitress in a brasserie, a position she would hold for the next 20 years.

In February 2022, Patricia made a bold decision to change careers. She polished up her CV and started sending out job applications. At that point, Chabé caught her eye and a job offer in the technical department caught her attention. Patricia tried her luck, passed the interview and finally got the job of Technical Assistant.

Working at Chabé has given her the opportunity to discover a new world, that of luxury transport. Today, Patricia is involved in a variety of tasks, including managing drivers’ requests. Whether it’s resolving a problem with a vehicle or responding to drivers’ requests, Patricia is the guarantor of the Group’s prestigious image. She is also responsible for the return and collection of rental vehicles and those in the Chabé fleet.

 

patricia-requier-evolution-professionnellePatricia explains: “In my job, you have to be able to react quickly. We’ve already had situations where chauffeurs have informed us of a technical problem in the middle of a journey. We have to react immediately so that the fault doesn’t disrupt the journey and, by the same token, the experience of our clients. We go straight to the chauffeur with an identical vehicle and exchange it. These are details that are invisible to our customers, but which nevertheless enable us at Chabé to offer a quality of service that is as prestigious as ever.

I see this career change as an opportunity that arose at a decisive moment in my life. Joining Chabé has given me a new vision of the world of work. I’m enthusiastic and smile when I get up in the morning. Over the months, I’ve proved my worth and my skills, and my colleagues now have complete confidence in me.

Being a woman in this predominantly male sector is an asset, a plus for our team. I bring a special kind of wisdom and attentiveness to our discussions with chauffeurs, which proves to be a significant advantage during busy periods.”

 

 

A family business since 1921, Chabé gives everyone the chance to express their talents.

If you’re looking for exciting opportunities and want to work for a fast-growing Group with expertise in mobility, join Chabé!

In the constantly evolving bespoke transport sector, Chabé stands out for its commitment to strengthening its presence throughout France. Over the decades, the Group has forged a reputation for excellence and luxury expertise.

Recently, the Journal des Flottes published an article highlighting our ability to reinvent ourselves in the face of major challenges, while our participation in the Journal de l’Automobile programme was an opportunity to share our expertise with a wider audience.

Let’s take a look back at these 2 news.

 

 

The Journal des Flottes

The article dedicated to Chabé highlights our ability to reinvent ourselves, even after 100 years in business.

Indeed, the arrival of VTC platforms was the first major challenge facing our family business. Guillaume Connan, President of the Group, explains, “They offered a Mercedes, with a chauffeur in a suit who arrived with bottles of water and sweets in the back. This undermined our added value.

Faced with this situation, the family business decided to reinvent itself by turning to luxury. “This choice allowed us to stand out from the crowd, because the others were going in the opposite direction,” says Guillaume Connan.

Today, the Group is still pursuing its quest for innovation. In an interview in 2022, Guillaume Connan pointed out that more and more clients are expressing a preference for environmentally-friendly modes of transport. Fabiola Monteverde, Group Fleet Manager, is committed to maintaining the excellence of our vehicles while promoting the development of our low-carbon fleet.

 

 

Le Journal de l’Automobile

As part of this continuous improvement approach, Chabé had the opportunity to highlight its expertise in the field of telematics. The world of telematics is constantly changing, and is becoming an essential tool for the Group.

During her appearance on the Journal de l’Automobile programme, Fabiola Monteverde shared our French expertise and highlighted the key role played by technology in improving our luxury service.

Telematics has evolved considerably, becoming more accessible, comprehensive and accurate. Thanks to the telematics box fitted to our vehicles, Chabé is able to collect a wide range of data, including mileage, fuel consumption, route optimisation and chauffeur behaviour analysis.

Fabiola Monteverde emphasises the crucial importance of this data: “For example, it allows us to monitor any traffic problems in real time, enabling our operational teams to react quickly and propose solutions on the ground”.

By collecting this valuable data, Chabé continues to innovate in order to offer an exceptional service, while remaining attentive to the needs of our customers, demonstrating our commitment to excellence.

 

Thanks to these various decisions, Chabé in 2023 will have :

In 2023, Chabé opened a new branch in Dubai, a city known the world over for its exceptional tourist destinations and unique real estate projects.

As the hub of the Middle East, Dubai has quickly established itself as the Group’s preferred location. The local market, focused on standardised transport, coexists with the continuing development of luxury hotels.

Chabé Dubai is headed up by Laurent Euzet, who previously headed up the Cannes office and helped launch several of the Group’s other offices, notably in Monaco and the Alps.

In this interview, find out more about the family firm’s latest agency, based in the City of Gold.

 

Laurent Euzet Dubai, chauffeur privé dubai, transport privé dubai tlt limoAt the end of 2022, the Chabé Group took the strategic decision to set up in Dubai to offer a bespoke, differentiated and responsible chauffeur transport service across the country and the Gulf. Can you tell us what happened next?

In its quest for internationalisation, Chabé took the strategic decision, at the end of 2022, to enter the Dubai market. The project came about with the acquisition of TLT Limo, a local chauffeured car transport company renowned for the quality of its services and sharing the same values of excellence as the Group. This acquisition has enabled us to develop our relationships with a number of well-known hotels, but also to maintain our high standards of service to our clients.

In addition to what we already had, we brought our French expertise and our technological innovations, such as telematics.

Developing in a new country also means immersing yourself in a new culture, new laws and so on. So we had to adapt. Companies and events in this region are not used to outsourcing their transport needs. As a result, we had to do a lot of work to establish relationships of trust with our potential clients and convince them of the advantages of working through Chabé.

 

What services do you provide in Dubai?

Whether in France or Dubai, we offer a complete range of bespoke chauffeured transport services. From simple transfers to the coordination of transport for complex events, our focus is on service excellence and client satisfaction.

The dedicated chauffeur service is designed specifically to meet the needs of hotel guests. At any time, a guest may wish to travel to a museum, a shopping trip or a party. Thanks to our vehicles, which are available in front of the hotels, guests can be accompanied to the desired location in just a few minutes, all from the comfort of the back of a prestigious car.

In the years to come, we would like to develop our relationship with company directors in order to provide them with daily accompaniment, which is equivalent to the French dedicated chauffeur service.

For those who like to discover new landscapes, we organise exceptional tours, notably to Abu Dhabi, Al-Ain and Ras Al Khaimah.

 

Can you tell us a bit about your team and the approach you take to delivering a prestige transport experience?

The well-being of our employees is at the heart of the successful development of this new office. We are proud to have 51 dedicated employees with in-depth knowledge of the country and solid expertise in the field of private transport.

To ensure seamless coordination, we rely on a workforce that is always available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This includes not only our 40 chauffeurs, but also a team of 5 dispatchers and 6 administrators who work in tandem.

Our team is building, evolving and taking part in this new adventure with determination and goodwill.

 

Since 1921, the history of Chabé has been closely linked to hotels. Far from France, what is the agency’s current relationship with the hotels of Dubai?

Chabé’s relationship with the hotels in Dubai is just as close and special as the one we have built up in France. When we acquired TLT Limo, we were fortunate enough to be able to maintain our contracts with existing hotels, which enabled us to preserve our partnerships. Today, we work with 4 prestigious hotels, the Four Seasons Jumeirah, the Four Seasons DIFC, the Mandarin Oriental and the iconic Burj Al Arab.

We are also looking to the future, actively working to create new relationships with other hotels in Dubai. Indeed, as early as December, we will be working with a new hotel, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to providing excellent transport services in this thriving region.

 

What do you think sets Chabé Dubai apart from other private transport operators in the region?

In Dubai, we are the only French company in the bespoke transport sector. So our French expertise is a strength!

But what really sets us apart is our brand image, a prestigious image that is recognised abroad, particularly among concierge managers and hotel directors.

We are fortunate to be part of a prestigious Group that has made a name for itself with a wide range of actors in the luxury, sports and industrial sectors. We have worked closely with these companies, particularly on an international level, by opening our office in the United Arab Emirates.

 

What are the agency’s plans for the end of 2023?

The end of the year is quite busy in Dubai, with the end of the Dubai Airshow from 13 to 17 November and the launch of COP 28 at the end of November until 12 December, which intensifies our private chauffeur-driven transport business.

We will soon be working alongside a new hotel opening in December. 12 chauffeurs and 1 coordinator will be looking after clients’ needs, thanks in particular to the 6 vehicles made available in front of this hotel.

Another project, which concerns our teams more than anything else, is the move. We’re moving to new premises in order to develop our business as effectively as possible and to welcome the new Chabé Dubai employees.

More generally, we’re continuing to set up shop and get to know the market so that we can move into new markets in the region very soon.

We still have other fairly ambitious projects, but they’re scheduled for 2024 or even 2025, so I’ll be able to tell you a bit more about them next year.
