TCI Expands, Adds New Team Members

TCI Worldwide, formerly known as Town Car International, expanded its services to the Boston area, a venture that is quickly gaining ground. The company is using a low-cost model centered on good service, technology, and a clean ride, especially for corporate travelers. “It’s back to basics as far as using a driver and a vehicle, whether it’s going to the airport or getting around town,” says Russ Cooke, TCI partner, who along with Bill Gemmell helped found BostonCoach. “The traveler today really wants to maximize the time on the road at a price that is more competitive.” TCI opened over 25 years ago in the New York area and today serves over 250 cities in 75 countries. Gemmell, partner, also notes that technology has played a major role in the company’s expansion, which he says is not only ubiquitous, but now more affordable. Part of the company’s expansion was the addition of new team members, including John Hall, operations manager, and Irene Hall, inside sales coordinator. Both previously worked at BostonCoach, and were excited for the new opportunity with TCI. “Russ has a true sense of what customer service should be,” says Irene. Cooke says their addition helps to strengthen their Boston team. For more information, visit www.tciworldwide.com. LD
