Where in the World....?
Ground transportation companies - or limousine services...however you choose to refer to us - have learned to adapt to a rapidly changing competitive landscape within the last decade or so. Most companies now offer "Worldwide" or "Global" services, and many have made changes to their names to reflect this industry trend.
In our case, we are reminded frequently that our name; O'Hare-Midway Limousine Service, leads people to think that we only travel to and from O'Hare and Midway airports in Chicago. In some cases, people get the airport names reversed, referring to us as Midway-O'Hare, which can make it difficult to find us on the internet or even in a phone book. Then there are the gypsy operators that use a variation of our name to "misrepresent" themselves as O'Hare-Midway...using names like "O'Hare-Midway Chicago", "O'Hare-Midway Downtown", and on and on and on. So not only did we have a global presence to think about, we were contending with challenges locally as well.
Enter OML WORLDWIDE
In honor of more than 55 years of service in the Chicagoland area, we decided that the name O'Hare-Midway Limousine Service, even with all the headaches, is who we are and too valuable to cast off. However, with our ever increasing network of global partners, we felt a name that was less "geographically myopic" might be in order. And OML WORLDWIDE was born. The two names are likely to be seen together on everything from our business cards to our website, and it will remain that way for the foreseeable future.
Event Planning
With the coming of the new year (2012), OML added a staff event planner to handle everything from birthday parties to corporate events. In order to promote this new level of service, we tweaked our name to its current form; OML WORLDWIDE Transportation & Events.
Simply stated, we are now set up to handle a client's ground transportation needs at the global level. We have a very dedicated and professional network of partners that have provided thousands of local O'Hare-Midway customers with outstanding service in and outside the United States, including every major city in the world. We also provide professional event planning services for any occasion. Centralized billing makes it easy for customers to track their activity here and abroad. It really doesn't get much easier.
This is where the limousine industry is today. Where in the world will it be tomorrow? I'm not sure exactly, but wherever it is, O'Hare-Midway Limousine Service and OML WORLDWIDE Transportation & Events will be there.
