Chris Cook and Bill Deuell concluded a deal earlier this month creating a merger of Pristine Limousines, the business that Cook had operated for six years, with Platinum Transportation Group.<\/p>\n
The business will be known under the name of Platinum Transportation Group, but not affiliated with other national or regional transportation groups bearing the name Platinum, they said.
\nCook started out working for a friend’s limousine company, decided it was fun, and decided to make it a full-time job. Deuell has been in the transportation business since his retirement after many years at Finch Paper. He has business experience from working with his wife’s business, Adirondack Quilting, located in The Shirt Factory on Cooper Street in Glens Falls.<\/p>\n
Platinum Transportation’s fleet includes four limousines, two Cadillac De Villes, two GMC Yukon SUVs, and a party bus. The Cadillacs and the Yukons serve the purposes of transportation to airports, medical appointments, or other situations where a limo might be a little more than what’s required, but an upgrade from what many taxi companies have to offer.<\/p>\n
Golf outings to Saratoga National or the Highland have proven popular events for which Cook’s and Deuell’s transportation services have been requested, they said. The spacious and comfortable party bus allows up to 22 people to be transported safely to and from parties, sporting events, casinos, and bachelor\/bachelorette parties. It features stereo sound, DVD players, laser lights, hardwood floors, and a roomier, walk-in ride. It’s another option for wedding party transportation with lots of space to accommodate dresses and flowers, etc., all in one vehicle.<\/p>\n
Cook recommends making reservations as much as five to six months in advance for major events like weddings or large events for which many people will be seeking transportation. For smaller special events, reservations a couple of weeks in advance should ensure availability of transportation.<\/p>\n
Platinum also offers an alternate number on its answering machine, which can be called in the event of an urgent need for transportation. For example, if someone’s boss says an out-of-town meeting has been rescheduled for two hours sooner and an earlier flight is necessary, requiring an earlier ride to the airport. That number will send an e-mail to Cook’s and Deuell’s phones.<\/p>\n
Deuell is owner of the newly configured company. Cook is its manager. Platinum Transportation Group is located at 206 Glen St., Glens Falls. They can be reached at 743-1710. The address of a website currently under construction will be platinumtransportationgroup.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
