Classic Parade annonce sa constitution en société à responsabilité limitée

Classic Parade annonce sa constitution en société à responsabilité limitée

Classic Parade est désormais une société à responsabilité limitée qui bénéficie du financement d’investisseurs qataris.

LONDRES, 28 mars 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Après 20 ans de propriété familiale, Classic Parade, une société de location d’hypercars basée à Londres, devient désormais une société à responsabilité limitée qui bénéficie du financement d’investisseurs qataris.

Ce changement procède d’une décision stratégique de l’entreprise de privilégier sa croissance en dehors du Royaume-Uni. Pour l’heure, Classic Parade propose des services de location d’hypercars dans tout le Royaume-Uni, mais grâce à l’investissement redynamisant de ses nouveaux propriétaires, elle nourrit l’ambition de s’imposer comme la société de location d’hypercars haut de gamme à l’échelle de l’Europe. Dans la mesure où aucun autre prestataire de service de location de supercars de luxe ne dessert une zone géographique aussi étendue dans la région, Classic Parade fera figure de pionnier en la matière.

Son portefeuille actuel de véhicules est vaste et comprend des marques réputées dans le domaine des véhicules de luxe, telles que Ferrari, McLaren, Rolls Royce, Porsche, Audi, et bien d’autres encore. L’entreprise offre la possibilité de conclure un contrat de location en à peine 24 heures, ce qui permet d’obtenir la location d’une hypercar le lendemain au Royaume-Uni. Pour proposer les mêmes services dans toute l’Europe, Classic Parade devra élargir son parc pour répondre à la demande de sa clientèle grandissante. Tous les véhicules proposés peuvent être consultés sur le site Web de Classic Parade, mais voici un bref aperçu de son parc :

  • Ferrari SF90 Stradale : La Ferrari SF90 Stradale dispose d’une puissance impressionnante de 986 chevaux. Se déclinant en une couleur rouge audacieuse, il s’agit de l’un des véhicules les plus convoités aujourd’hui.
  • McLaren Speedtail : La carrosserie élégante de ce véhicule lui confère de l’aérodynamisme, et sa puissance de 1050 chevaux constitue un argument de vente auprès de nombreux clients.
  • Lamborghini Sian : Proposé au tarif journalier de 6 000 £, ce modèle se situe dans le haut de gamme des Lamborghini disponibles. Le véhicule possède une puissance de 808 chevaux et est capable de passer de 0 à 60 km/h en 2,8 secondes.
  • Porsche 918 Spyder : Contre un tarif journalier de 3 500 £, les conducteurs peuvent tester la capacité de la Porsche 918 Spyder à passer de 0 à 60 km/h en l’espace de 2,2 secondes.

Les locations de supercars sont proposées à différents prix, chaque contrat nécessitant un dépôt de garantie. Lorsque le client restitue le véhicule en bon état à Classic Parade, le dépôt de garantie lui est remboursé. Chaque contrat comprend une assurance de location de véhicules autonomes pour deux (2) conducteurs, ceux-ci devant toutefois être âgés d’au moins 25 ans pour conduire les véhicules loués par Classic Parade.

Classic Parade se développera de manière progressive et communiquera les informations les plus récentes dès que les services commenceront à être assurés sur les sites à travers l’Europe. Une fois opérationnels, ces sites pourront bénéficier d’un service 24 heures sur 24 et de livraisons tous les jours de la semaine.

Un autre service sera proposé aux clients dans toute l’Europe, à savoir le programme « Essayez avant d’acheter » (Try Before You Buy), qui met en relation de potentiels acheteurs avec les véhicules qui les intéressent avant qu’ils ne les achètent définitivement. Avant d’investir dans l’achat d’un véhicule coûteux, les clients de Classic Parade peuvent conduire le même véhicule de luxe pendant une durée indéterminée. Cette offre est rendue possible grâce à des conditions de location flexibles et à des formules tarifaires personnalisées.

Les personnes désireuses de louer une supercar auprès de Classic Parade au Royaume-Uni peuvent contacter l’entreprise par e-mail à l’adresse [email protected] ou par téléphone au numéro +44 (0) 333 355 3595. Aucun service de location n’est pour le moment proposé dans d’autres pays, mais si la situation évolue, des mises à jour seront disponibles ici. L’équipe de Classic Parade est disponible 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7 pour répondre aux questions ou finaliser les détails de la location de supercars pour les clients au Royaume-Uni.

NCC, NITDA partner ASF France on protecting Nigerians’ digital rights

The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) and National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) have expressed their readiness to partner with Avocats Sans Frontieres (ASF) France on the protection of Nigerians’ digital rights.

The Chief Executive Officer of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta, and Director-General of NITDA, Mallam Kashifu Abdullahi, gave the assurance, on Wednesday, during the launch of e-Rights Project by ASF France in Abuja.

The Nigeria Data Protection Bureau (NDPB) and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) also said they would support ASF France, also known as Lawyers Without Borders France, on achieving the objectives of the project.

Prof. Danbatta, represented by Mr Chidi Dingwu, Head of New Media and Information Security, said the project was the latest intervention in promoting the fulfilment of human rights in Nigeria.

“To transform Nigeria into a leading digital economy providing quality life and digital economies for all, it is imperative that we strengthen the people’s confidence in the use of digital technologies, and involvement in the digital economy as stipulated in the soft infrastructure pillar of the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS 2020-2030),” he said.

He said this pillar addressed the importance of cybersecurity, digital rights, data protection and privacy frameworks and guidelines that encouraged citizens to embrace the opportunities which digital technologies offer with a view to repositioning the Nigerian Economy.

He said since the digital and other user rights in communications and electronic media are becoming more significant in the society as technology advances, there is the need to protect these rights.

“The event is an acknowledgement of the drive of ASF France to promote the rights of individuals to information, freedom of expression, privacy and data protection as they engage online,” Danbatta said.

He said as the country continued to boost confidence and trust in its digital economy through fruitful deliberation and conversations, all hands must be on deck to safeguard the people’s rights to information, freedom of expression, privacy and data Protection, in the context of digital technologies, especially the Internet.

Abdullahi, also represented by Mr Emmanuel Edet, NITDA’s Head of Legal Unit, said that as at the last statistics, about 84 million Nigerians had access to internet

He said this showed that the number of internet users in the country had grown astronomically, hence, the need for the protection of their digital rights cannot be over-emphasised.

He said there was the need for every stakeholders to collaborate to ensure that digital space was safe.

Abdullahi, who said that the agency was working with NCC and others to develop child rights protection in the digital space, said he aligned totally with e-Rights Project and to ensure that this was adequately and properly used in Nigeria.

The Executive Secretary of NHRC, Mr Anthony Ojukwu, said he was always inclined to associating with any programme aimed at protecting the human rights.

“So there is the need to address the challenges and annex the potentials of digital space,” he said.

Ojukwu also said that there was need for legislation that would help safeguard the digital space.

The Chief Executive Officer of NDPB, Dr Vincent Olatunji, said with the huge population of internet users, effort must be made to safeguard the people’s rights.

Olatunji, who was represented at the event, said as nations across the globe march to the ever increasing tempo of technological advancement in the 4th industrial revolution, the need to safeguard the rights of citizens must be addressed with the keenest sense of equity and justice.

Alexandre Borges-Gomes, Deputy Head of the European Union (EU) Delegation in Nigeria and ECOWAS, said new technologies can contribute significantly to the protection and promotion of human rights and democracy and make public participation easier and more effective.

He, however, said that this could also be abused

“In this context, the e RIGHTS project is strategic because it aims at promoting people’s rights in the digital space in Nigeria; digital rights are all about freedom of expression and privacy and an extension of human rights for the internet age,” he said.

Angela Uzoma-Iwuchukwu, the Country Director of ASF France, said the project was the latest human rights initiative of the organisation funded by the EU.

According to her, it is aimed at enhancing digital rights in Nigeria.

She said the organisation “is canvassing that all the rights that are respected offline to equally be respected online.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event, organised by Lawyers Without Borders France, was in partnership with Centre for Technology and Development (CITAD) and Spaces for Change (S4C).(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Onaiwu tasks governors-elect on good governance

A former Director-General of the PDP Governors Forum, Mr Osaro Onaiwu, has charged governors-elect to reciprocate the electorate’s mandate by coming up with people-oriented policies and implementing them.

Onaiwu, in a statement in Abuja, said the era had gone when those elected by the people could behave anyhow and escape the wrath of the electorate at the polls.

“As you all receive your Certificates of Return this week, it is incumbent that the euphoria of the moment don’t becloud the task before you and those responsible for your ascension to high office – the people.

“Going by how difficult it was for most of you, with incumbent governors losing at the polls, this message has become urgent and imperative,” he said.

According to him, when you serve the people, when you take them into confidence, when you demonstrate empathy and do less politics but more of governance, then your mandate is truly of the people.

“As a religious people, whether Muslim or Christian, let the admonishing that “when the righteous are on the throne the people rejoice be your watchword,” he said.

Onaiwu said, “If you fail to do this, then for those of you fresh on the saddle, second term becomes a huge challenge, and that is not what you wish for.

The owner of Governors Mandate TV and Newspaper, said that the governors needed to work closely with the media and be accommodating for the necessary media mileage and exposure.

“By now, I am certain that all our governors-elect know the value of the media and being on it, you cannot be performing as a Chief Executive of your State and hide under a bushel of ‘I can’t do media.

“My hope is that with excellent media relations, this set of governors will be under the spotlight and do well,” Onaiwu said. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

Oil exploration in Nasarawa to increase Nigeria’s reserves – NNPC Ltd

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) says the positive outcome of Ebenyi-A Exploration Well will increase Nigeria’s hydrocarbon reserves from 37 billion barrels to 50 billion barrels.

The NNPC Ltd said the outcome of the campaign would contribute to the aspiration of increasing Nigeria’s crude oil production to a target of three million barrels.

Malam Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer, NNPC Ltd, made this known on Tuesday at the presidential spud-in ceremony of the Ebenyi-A Exploration Well, located in the Middle Benue Trough in Obi Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

Host Gov. Abdullahi Sule and the NNPC Ltd GCEO performed the spud-in ceremony on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Commission’s Chief Executive, Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Mr Gbenga Komolafe; retired Justice Sidi Bage Muhammad, the Emir of Lafia, and some other dignitaries were also in attendance.

Kyari said it was a special occasion for the NNPC Ltd, NUPRC, Nasarawa people and Nigeria as spudded the first well in the Middle Benue Trough, while at the same time executing Mr President’s mandate for them to pursue exploration in the frontier inland Basins with vigour.

He said the mandate no doubt targeted growth of hydrocarbon reserves in our country with the ultimate aim of enhancing national energy security and associated economic benefits to our people.

Kyari recalled that exploration in the Middle Benue Trough commenced over a decade ago, adding that since 2010 it had executed several geophysical activities, applied niche technologies and conducted very integrated study leading to the firming up of the Ebenyi-A Well.

“Indeed, our findings are very indicative of potential commercial hydrocarbon discovery in this area,” the NNPC Ltd GCEO said.

He said that the NNPC Ltd, in conjunction with the NURPC, were committed to conducting exploration activities of the nation’s frontier Basins using the best industry standards and technologies.

According to him, the basin spans the Chad Basin, Upper and Lower Benue troughs, the Bida Basin, the Sokoto basin, the Dahomey, Anambra platform, the Calabar embarkment and the Ultra deep water Niger Delta.

He disclosed that mobilisation for re-entry into the Chad Basin has commenced as directed by Buhari as it progressed other activities in the Frontier Basins.

Kyari assured the stakeholders that it would conduct the operation with the utmost care and attention to health, safety and the environment.

“We understand the responsibility that comes with exploring and exploiting natural resources, and we are committed to doing so in a way that will best benefit our country and its people.

“As NNPC Ltd we are committed to leading practices and highest standards in the course of our operations and would be engaging in Impact Assessment studies during and after operations to mitigate possible effects of our exploration activities.

“We will also engage the host communities as major stakeholders and execute Community Assisted Projects in line with NNPC Ltd Corporate Social Responsibility policies and provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).

He thanked the President for his leadership, direction in making this a reality and acceptance to perform the spud and kick-start the Ebenyi-A drilling campaign.

He thanked its client, NURPC-the Commission Chief Executive and the NUPRC team for their support and continued partnership.

He also commended the Nasarawa state government and citizens, royal fathers, and security agencies for the uncommon understanding and support on the project.

Besides, he appreciated the members of its dedicated team of professionals who had worked tirelessly and broke the jinx around oil and gas exploration in the rift system of Nigeria. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
