Classic Parade anuncia a sua incorporação como uma empresa LTD

Classic Parade é agora uma empresa LTD que tem o apoio financeiro de investidores do Qatar.

LONDRES, March 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Depois de 20 anos sob propriedade familiar, a Classic Parade, uma empresa de aluguer de hipercarros em Londres, passará a ser imediatamente uma empresa LTD que conta com apoio financeiro de investidores do Qatar.

Este passo resulta de uma decisão comercial estratégica para se concentrar no crescimento para além do Reino Unido. Atualmente, a Classic Parade presta serviços de aluguer de hipercarros de luxo a clientes em todo o Reino Unido, mas com o investimento revitalizador dos seus novos proprietários, pretende tornar-se na empresa de aluguer de hipercarros premium que presta serviços em toda a Europa. Nenhum outro fornecedor de supercarros de luxo de aluguer serve uma localização geográfica tão grande na área; a Classic Parade será a primeira.

O seu atual portefólio de veículos é vasto, incluindo marcas bem conhecidas na comunidade de veículos de luxo, como Ferrari, McLaren, Rolls Royce, Porsche, Audi e muito mais. Um contrato de aluguer pode ser concluído em apenas 24 horas, tornando possível obter um aluguer de hipercarros no dia seguinte no Reino Unido. Com estes mesmos serviços oferecidos em toda a Europa, a Classic Parade expandirá a sua frota para atender à demanda da sua crescente base de clientes. Todos os veículos disponíveis podem ser encontrados no Website da Classic Parade, mas segue-se um breve instantâneo da frota da Classic Parade:

Ferrari SF90 Stradale: o Ferrari SF90 Stradale tem a potência impressionante de 986 cv. Com uma cor vermelha arrojada, este é um dos veículos mais procurados da atualidade.
McLaren Speedtail: a carroçaria elegante deste veículo oferece aerodinâmica e os seus 1050 cv são um ponto de venda para muitos clientes.
Lamborghini Sian: com uma tarifa diária de 6000 £, este modelo fica no nível superior dos Lamborghini disponíveis. Possui 808 cv e vai das 0 às 60 MPH em 2,8 segundos.
Porsche 918 Spyder: com um preço de 3500 £ por dia, os motoristas podem testar a capacidade do Porsche 918 Spyder para ir das 0 às 60 MPH em 2,2 segundos.

Os alugueres de supercarros têm várias faixas de preços e cada contrato exige um depósito de caução. Se o veículo for devolvido à Classic Parade em boas condições, o depósito de caução será reembolsado aos clientes. Todos os contratos incluem seguro de aluguer de auto-condução para 2 condutores, embora os condutores devam ter, pelo menos, 25 anos de idade para conduzir veículos alugados na Classic Parade.

Expandindo com uma abordagem faseada, a Classic Parade fornecerá atualizações quando o serviço tiver início em localizações por toda a Europa. Uma vez em funcionamento, estas localizações poderão aceder ao serviço e a entregas 24 horas por dia em qualquer dia da semana.

Outro serviço que estará disponível para os clientes em toda a Europa é o programa “Try Before You Buy”, que conecta potenciais compradores com os veículos nos quais estão interessados antes de os comprarem definitivamente. Antes de investir num veículo caro, os clientes da Classic Parade podem conduzir o mesmo veículo de luxo durante qualquer período de tempo. Os termos de contratação flexíveis e os pacotes de preços personalizados tornam-no possível.

Os interessados em alugar um supercarro da Classic Parade no Reino Unido podem contactar rent@classicparade.co.uk ou ligar para o +44 (0) 333 355 3595. Não estão disponíveis aligueres em outras localizações, mas quando tal mudar, as atualizações poderão ser encontradas aqui.

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.

Classic Parade announces its incorporation as an LTD company

Classic Parade is now an LTD company that has financial backing from Qatari investors.

LONDON, March 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — After 20 years under family ownership, Classic Parade, a hypercar hire company in London, will now effective immediately become an LTD company that has financial backing from Qatari investors.

This move comes from a strategic business decision to focus on growth beyond the United Kingdom. Currently, Classic Parade services luxury hypercar hire customers all over the UK, but with the revitalizing investment from its new owners, it aims to become the premium hypercar hire company that services all of Europe. No other luxury supercar for-hire provider serves that large of a geographical location in the area; Classic Parade will be the first.

Its existing portfolio of vehicles is vast, including well-known brands in the luxury vehicle community such as Ferrari, McLaren, Rolls Royce, Porsche, Audi, and more. A hire agreement can be completed in as little as 24 hours, making it possible to get a next-day hypercar hire in the UK. With these same services offered in all of Europe, Classic Parade will expand its fleet to meet the demand of its growing customer base. All of the available vehicles can be found on Classic Parade’s website, but a brief snapshot of the Classic Parade fleet is as follows:

Ferrari SF90 Stradale: The Ferrari SF90 Stradale has impressive power with 986 bhp. In a bold red color, this is one of the most sought-after vehicles today.
McLaren Speedtail: The sleek body of this vehicle offers aerodynamics and its 1050 bhp is a selling point for many customers.
Lamborghini Sian: With a daily rate of £6000, this model sits at the top tier of available Lamborghinis. It features 808 bhp and goes from 0-60 MPH in 2.8 seconds.
Porsche 918 Spyder: With a price of £3500 per day, drivers can test out the Porsche 918 Spyder’s ability to get from 0-60 MPH in 2.2 seconds.

Supercar hires have a range of price points, with each agreement requiring a security deposit. When the vehicle is returned to Classic Parade in good condition, the security deposit will be refunded to the customers. Every agreement includes self-drive hire insurance for 2 drivers, though drivers must be at least 25 years of age to drive vehicles hired from Classic Parade.

Expanding with a phased approach, Classic Parade will provide updates when servicing starts for locations around Europe. Once up and running, these locations will be able to access 24-hour service and deliveries any day of the week.

Another service that will be available to customers in all of Europe is the “Try Before You Buy” Program, which connects potential buyers with the vehicles they are interested in before they permanently purchase those vehicles. Prior to investing in an expensive vehicle, Classic Parade’s customers can drive the same luxury vehicle for any length of time. Flexible hire terms and customized pricing packages make this possible.

Those interested in hiring a supercar from Classic Parade in the UK can reach out to [email protected] or +44 (0) 333 355 3595. There are no hires available in other locations, but as that changes, updates can be found here. The Classic Parade team is available 24 hours, 7 days a week to answer questions or finalize supercar hire details for customers in the UK.

Zoom announces the expansion of Zoom IQ, the smart companion that empowers collaboration and unlocks potential

Zoom uses OpenAI technologies to bolster a unique federated approach to AI based on flexibility

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today at Enterprise Connect, Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) announced the expansion of Zoom IQ, a smart companion that empowers collaboration and unlocks people’s potential by summarizing chat threads, organizing ideas, drafting content for chats, emails, and whiteboard sessions, creating meeting agendas, and more. The company also announced it will use OpenAI to bolster its unique federated approach to AI based on flexibility.

Zoom’s federated approach to AI leverages its own proprietary AI models, those from leading AI companies– such as OpenAI –and select customers’ own models. With this flexibility to incorporate multiple types of models, Zoom’s goal is to provide the most value for its customers’ diverse needs. These models can also be customized to perform better for a customer, based on their vocabulary and requirements.

“Zoom has long built AI solutions into our products to empower customers to be more productive,” said Smita Hashim, chief product officer at Zoom. “We are excited to bring many more capabilities with new large language models. Our unique approach to AI will give customers the flexibility they want and help significantly improve collaboration and customer relations.”

In today’s work environment, workers find it increasingly difficult to balance workday priorities between emails, team chats, meetings, and project management tasks. Teams are also looking for ways to better co-create effectively in real-time. To help solve these challenges, Zoom IQ will have a host of new capabilities scheduled to release soon, including:

Zoom IQ chat compose: Zoom Team Chat users can soon use the compose feature to help compose messages based on conversational context in addition to changing message tone to customize suggested responses.
Zoom IQ email compose: Harnessing the power of Generative AI, users will get email draft suggestions in response to the conversational context from prior Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone calls, and email threads. Available initially in Zoom IQ for Sales.
Zoom IQ meeting summary: Generate a summary, capture next steps, and share via Team Chat, Zoom Calendar, and email without recording the conversation, so those who didn’t attend will no longer have to sit through lengthy recordings.

Additionally at Enterprise Connect, Zoom is showcasing the following innovations to make teamwork more meaningful and strengthen customer relationships:

Zoom Huddles (formerly Zoom Spots) is a new video-enabled virtual coworking space designed to foster ad-hoc discussions and relationship building, to replicate the “working alongside” aspect of an open office and encourage free-form video-first conversations. Zoom Huddles is now available globally for customers to request early access by visiting the product page.
Intelligent Director uses multiple cameras in a Zoom Room to determine the best angle of the individuals in the room to display within the meeting. With high-quality, reliable video and voice, Intelligent Director also provides a best-in-class experience for remote participants. Available in beta soon.
Zoom Scheduler makes it easy to find the perfect time for meetings by sharing the host’s availability so others (even external participants) can conveniently book appointments. Zoom Scheduler reduces the back-and-forth hassle of manual scheduling by placing a meeting on the host’s calendar with a Zoom Meetings link already included, saving both participants time. Zoom Scheduler works seamlessly with Zoom Meetings and Zoom Mail and Calendar, and integrates with Google Calendar and Microsoft 365, so hosts can use their preferred calendar.
