Recently we published an article which encouraged you to look a little further afield in terms of your festive celebrations and how limo hire is the perfect way to mark your event. One of the places which is currently embracing the period to the full is Walsall and there are numerous events planned here to engage not only the locals but the West Midlands vicinity in general.

This evening, Paralympics double gold medalist Eleanor Simmonds will formally switch on the town’s Christmas lights and will be joined by Britain ’s Got Talent stars Signature and boy band Journey South.

This is followed by a spectacular event to be held in Brownhills this coming Saturday where many activities are being planned to mark a truly special occasion. There will be a best dressed window competition, a Christmas trail for children and balloon modeling to name but three of the special events which will be taking place.

The borough of Walsall is really embracing the start of the festive period and the deputy leader of the local council, Adrian Andrew praised the work which has been carried out so far in order to create “some great events that will appeal to all ages and tastes”

Birmingham has had its fair share of bad news and doom and gloom stories recently. However, the Jewellery Quarter in the heart of Birmingham is going through a boom perdiod with the price of gold soaring. With the stock market suffering people are looking at other means of investments.

If you in the early stages of planning a wedding you might want to pay the Jewellery quarter a visit sooner rather than later before prices increase any further. This is always an exiting stage when you are planning on getting married. To add to the excitement you could make a special day of the occasion with a limo hire and a tour of Birmingham.

You could also consider combining this with another event such as an anniversary or birthday.

There is nothing like looking forward to a night out on the town – whether you are celebrating a special event or not. Throughout the week you find yourself counting down the days until the big night out where you can really let your hair down.

Yet, if you tend to go around the same pubs and the same bars each time you go out, then the magic of the night can quickly erode. In fact after a while you find yourself not really looking forward to going out – seeing it rather as something which you do because it is what you have always done and not necessarily because you are enjoying it anymore.

If this sounds a little bit like you, then fear not as we have a great way in which you can relive the magic of nights out which you once experienced. As the leading limo hire company in the area, we not only cover a wide and varied amount of locations, but our chauffeurs are very knowledgeable about the locations and their surrounding areas.

Therefore, why not step out of the old routines and be escorted to a new location in one of our stylish and prestigious vehicles? The area is blessed with an eclectic range of traditional and contemporary nightlife – make sure that you do not miss out on this!

We like to keep you informed of the latest news in Birmingham. The famous Birmingham actress Julie Walters is to be honoured on the Broad Street ‘Walk of Fame’. Her name will be engraved alongside the likes of Jasper Carrott and Ozzy Osbourne.

This is awarded by the Birmingham Business Improvement District to recognise entertainers with a strong link with the area.

 So next time you are on Broad Street keep an eye out for the latest addition to the walk of fame.

It’s that time of year again when the famous lights in Walsall are switched on.

Every year this proves to be a great event for all the family.  The only downside can be parking at the event. Therefore, limo hire to take you to the lights is always popular.

New attractions for this year include Dora the Explorer, Go Deigo Go and Sponge Bob Squarepants scenes.

As always there will be dazzling lights and a spectacular laser show as well as rides for the kids. The show will be on from September 26th to 2nd November with gates opening between 6.30pm and 7pm.

Birmingham has always been regarded as having some of the best night life with many people coming from all around the country to visit nightspots such as Broad Street and China Town. This is sure to have a positive effect on Limo hire in Birmingham.

Now Birmingham welcomes one of the largest brands when it comes to clubbing, Gatecrasher. Devised in Ibiza, Birmingham now has another hyper club with Gatecrasher perfectly located at the top end of Broad Street. This makes a great alternative for those who don’t want to travel across Birmingham to pay Oceana a visit.

The club features four rooms of music with an amazing design and of course the usual features you would expect from a £5 million hyper club such as amazing sound and lighting system.

If you are planning a visit, a limo hire would be a perfect way to start your evening.

In previous articles within this site, we have looked into the trend towards employing a limo for the festive period. Whilst recognising that we are currently enjoying the British summer, Christmas will come around quicker than we all think and therefore our plans need to be sorted out in plenty of time.

Yet for many people, the most exciting event after the end of the summer is Bonfire night. This is especially true for young children who love the magic of the night, not to mention the eclectic range of spectacular fireworks and the opportunity to stay up past their normal bed time!

Within the West Midlands area, we are blessed with many organised firework parties, many of which push back the boundaries in terms of the fireworks they use every year. For this reason, they are always well attended and people have a fabulous time year after year.

This got us thinking in terms of how limo hire can add further value and excitement to these events. We believe that this will be generated with the presence of children and the family unit in general. What can be more exciting for a young child to be transported to and from the event in a limo which will be as magical as the fireworks themselves?

This may be particularly true if a few of their friends are invited as they can experience the event with equally excited youngsters.

Planning for this needs to start fairly early, especially with the long school holidays just around the corner, so it may be worth having a word with other parents about giving their child a Bonfire Night to remember!

You will struggle to think of many nights out which ooze more style and sophistication than a trip to the theatre. Many people attend numerous shows a year and enjoy the prestige and excitement of being able to see world renowned shows right here within the West Midlands.

The theatre has shrugged off it’s elitist perception over recent decades and is now well within the budgets of many people – as a result popularity is soaring.

One of the most popular theatres within the area is the Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton and they have recently announced their schedule for the rest of 2008.

This includes Flashdance, All the Fun of the Fair and The Witches of Eastwick. These are sure to be popular events and will exemplify the stylish perception which previous productions have elicited.

It is quite common for people to hire limos to transport them to the theatre, as this adds to the sophistication of the night – particularly with Bentley hire which is incredibly fitting to the occasion.

The theatre is a wonderful night out and one which our stylish limos would accompany perfectly.

As always, should you have any queries with regard to this or any other limo hire issue, then do not hesitate to contact us.

Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams has announced that as part of his UK tour, he will be visiting the NEC Arena in Birmingham.

The veteran idol will visit the city on 2nd November this year and as always, everyone fully expects that the event will be a sell out – so if you want a ticket then please get in there quickly!

Adams has rocked the UK for over two decades with classic tracks such as “Summer of 69”, “The only thing that looks good on me is you” and the ballad “(Everything I do) I do it for you”.

His concerts are renowned for their infinite entertainment value as he plays all of his greatest hits as well as a collection of his more recent works.

The event is sure to be a brilliant night out and if you are going to the gig with friends then why not go that extra step and invest in limo hire to escort you. Our Pink Hummer Limo is the ultimate party machine and is the ideal addition to the concert. You will certainly feel like the legendary rocker himself when you step out at the arena in such a stylish and head turning vehicle.

Obviously we will operate on a first come first served basis, so if you would like to be escorted to see Bryan Adams in the best possible manner then do contact us with your exact requirements!

As previously mentioned, at Finishing Touch Cars, we take an active interest in all the news and events which affect the local area. In view of this, we would like to congratulate West Bromwich Albion for their Championship winning season and with it promotion to the Premier League.

The Baggies have made a welcome return to the top flight of English football and with it, the economy of the town, as well as the general atmosphere within it is certain to improve. Many people are going to be full of excitement, seeing their local side play against some of the best players in the world, and the magic of the Premier League cannot be underestimated, especially to the large percentage of young fans there are in the area.

The success of Tony Mowbray’s side also raises the corporate potential of the club as a whole. The Hawthorns stadium is a magnificent structure with a vast array of function facilities held within it. Business conferences are held here on a daily basis and the backdrop of the hallowed pitch creates an ideal setting, as well as one which all delegates will remember for years to come.

If you want to impress your important clients, or treat your staff to an event which they will never forget, then there can be nothing more prestigious than arriving at such a magnificent local stadium in an equally magnificent limo. The feelings of glamour and prestige which your guests will feel will be unparalleled, and you are sure to hit your business objectives from the exercise.
