Romeo, the London Shard Hotel’s adventurous fox

romeo_1Last month we launched a new insurance service for Club members and to get things off to a flying start we added a hotel competition to encourage them to register with us for an insurance quote.

The hotel we chose was the newly opened luxury Shangri-La which is part of the iconic London Shard.

Imagine my surprise to read that we won’t be the first fox-y customers to stay there.

Apparently a fox was found roaming the upper levels of The Shard during its construction and named Romeo. Seemingly he survived by eating scraps of food left by builders before being captured, cared for by vets and then released back into Bermonsea with the strict instructions not to climb high buildings again…

Goodness knows how he got there – not in the lift we’re told.

Anyway, to celebrate his foxy antics one of the gifts on sale in The Shard giftshop is now a cuddly fox toy, called Romeo of course.

To win a stay at the Hotel Shard

shardhotelIf any female would like to enter our competition to win a stay in London’s luxury Shangri-La Shard Hotel, a prize worth £1500 including £500 spending money, all you have to do is REGISTER for an insurance quote with us before the end of April. The more quotes you register (car, motorcycle and home) the more entries and so on…

NB: You don’t have to be a Club member to be eligible (and in fact non members will receive a one-off gift membership as part of any insurance quote during 2015) but, as you might expect of us, Club members will always get the best deal from FOXY Lady Insurance.

Romancing Romeos this Valentine’s Day

What can I get Romeo for Valentine's Day?
Budding Juliets planning to take advantage of the leap year and looking for that last minute extra special Valentine’s gift might decide to contact Europcar, to sweep the man of their dreams off their feet!

Why not, for example, propose in a Porsche or show him you’re a foxy fan in a fun MINI Cooper S Convertible. Either one would surely make this Valentine’s Day one to stand out of the crowd.

“Flowers, champagne and a candle-lit dinner are, of course, all very nice. But to really get hearts racing we think hiring a Prestige [car] from Europcar could be the icing on the cake this Valentine’s Day.” said Ken McCall, Managing Director, Europcar UK Group.

And with prices starting at just £84 a day, we’re inclined to agree when you’re out to treat your loved one like a celebrity. Hint, hint…

The Prestige from Europcar range includes 4x4s, luxury saloons and performance cars. There’s a network of over 40 UK locations and if you hire for more than 2 days they’ll include delivery and collection, even to a secret address providing it’s within 15 miles of a Europcar station.

Needless to say, model availability is on a ‘first come first served’ basis.
