When you look beyond the red carpets and flashing cameras, you find the logistics that bring celebrity events like the BAFTAs and The Brit Awards to fruition.
And back there you’ll see The Summit… You’ll see the shiny black cars, the impeccably dressed chauffeur at the wheel and the complimentary refreshments, but what you won’t see is the months of preparation that go into organising an event like that. And that’s where we come in…
It’s about schedules – not glamour
Admittedly, The Summit has a very small hand indeed in the production of the BAFTAs and The Brit Awards, but we were there, as part of the logistics of the event before the suits were tailored and the dresses sewn. You see, venues need to be sourced for meetings, meetings need to be populated with management, and management need to arrive at those venues for those meetings on time, feeling prepared and ready to make decisions.
Here, the glamour isn’t even thought about, it’s timings we care about (OK, we do care a bit about glamour!), we just make sure the right people are in the right place and the right equipment is delivered on time.
If these meetings are the engine room of the awards, then The Summit is the oil that keeps them running smoothly.
More than a reliable taxi service
Forget what you see from The Summit for a moment, our reputation is built on what people think of us – that is, what they tell other people about us when we’re not around. That’s our core values – Calm | Secure | Trust | Comfort | Adapt & Discrete…
When top film and TV executives are in discussion, all those values come into play. This is high-stakes journey planning, precision transportation and coordinated collaboration – all executed without ever once uttering the words, ‘you’ll never guess who I had in the car yesterday’…
And after all the meetings have taken place, the event is planned to nth degree and the night is imminent – The Invisible Chauffeurs are there once more, ready to bring the stars of the night for their grand arrival onto the red carpet.
The Summit is always working hard to maintain reputations; theirs, yours and ours. That’s why EAs and PAs to top execs, CEOs and household names trust us.
Let’s finish with a quick story
We know you love a Summit story, so here’s a short one to illustrate our complete discretion and trustworthiness.
When two people have a tiff in the back of the car, the only thing our chauffeur will do is monitor safety. There is no judgement, no ‘listening in’ and certainly no repeating of what may have been heard. On this occasion, the couple were very safe, and when we arrived at the evening’s venue, they were even quite relaxed, poised and ready for the celebrity spotters and cameras.
And later, after the exhilaration of the event had ebbed, we drove them home, gladly without incident.
Trust us to be your stars in a supporting role. We’ll be there from the first meeting, for the red carpet moment and until the door closes on the whole event.
