LM: Do you have any celebrities or VIP’s that use Green Tomato Cars ethical service? If so, who has recently been in the back of a Green Tomato Car?
Jonny: Yes, we are delighted to have many celebrities and VIPs among our frequent travellers. It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to name names, though many of them now pose for selfies with some of our drivers because they’ve had such a great experience.
LM: Tell our Luxurious Magazine readers why they should use Green Tomato Cars? And what makes Green Tomato Cars so special?
Jonny: By using Green Tomato Cars, you’ll not only have an enjoyable ride at a sensible price, you’ll also have the knowledge that you are helping to reduce harmful emissions in our beautiful capital city. You’ll know that your driver is earning decent money and that the car they are driving is well maintained. You can work on the move, as all our cars have complimentary wifi – just use the password “ilovefreewifi”.
You can book by phone, online or by using our app and you’ll even enjoy the status notifications letting you know that “Your chariot awaits”. That’s us – professional, but not boring.
Last but not least, it might even be one of our Teslas or Hydrogen Fuel Cell Mirai’s that comes to pick you up. And whatever the car, you’ll know you’re travelling with the most originally named service in town!
LM: You have been involved in a number of charitable projects. Tell our Luxurious Magazine readers a little more about your charitable programmes and why they are so important to you?
Jonny: We’ve worked with a number of charities, which are always close to our hearts, whether for personal reasons or because of a London or environmental focus. Every year we do bake sales for Macmillan Cancer Research (the quality of some of the Green Tomato baking is second to none!) and we’ve sponsored organisations as diverse as the London Air Ambulance and the school in Ghana already mentioned, set up by one of our pioneering drivers. More recently we’ve worked with MIND mental health charity and some staff ran a marathon for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
LM: Green Tomato Cars plans to upgrade its fleet to exclusively zero emissions and hybrid vehicles by the end of 2018. Are you on track for this to happen and what other exciting future plans for Green Tomato Cars can you share with our Luxurious Magazine readers?Jonny: Yes absolutely, we’re on track to have a fleet that is exclusively zero emissions and hybrid vehicles by the end of 2018 and we expect it to be the largest zero-emission private hire fleet in Europe by the end of the year. We’re constantly trialling the latest, clean vehicle technology, as well as some innovative transport concepts in and around London.
We’ll have more to say soon.
