Golden Limo plans to add 5 jobs in Ann Arbor this year
Ann Arbor’s Golden Limo has already gone through its dip in the economy and is now on the upswing looking for new jobs.The luxury limousine service watched a good portion of its business disappear when Pfizer left town and British Airways dropped its contract. But that was then and Golden Limo is poised to recapture that business this year while adding five jobs to its staff of 38 employees and 12 contractors.Even though corporate business is down as the economy continues to tighten and cutbacks become the norm, the American consumer is still finding ways to spend on the finer things in life for those special occasions. It’s also trying to break into new territory with its Town & Gown tours, the next one set for Thursday.”People are still going to take their vacations. They’re still going to get married. They’re still going to go to prom,” says Sean Duval, CEO and founder of Golden Limo. “They’re going to spend that money.”And Duval expects to continue making it. He started Golden Limo in 1992 while he was managing a fast-food restaurant in Milan. He got some money together and bought a friend’s small limo service as his way of capturing part of the American dream. In fact a little bit of corporate work in the beginning played a key part launching the company.”We really took off after we took on Weber’s Inn,” Duval says.
