Paulo

Workplace Culture At Assured Services, we pride ourselves on our close-knit workplace culture. Paulo was pleasantly surprised one morning after receiving a text from his two newest employees, Emily and Sokka Lazoo. After meeting the two at the end of his driveway he was greeted by a patriot stretch limousine provided by DCC which took the trio up to top of Vinewood Hills. Once at the scenic destination they cracked into some beverages and reinforced their gratitude to Paulo and Assured Services for opportunity that was presented to them. This mutual respect is preached throughout the company, a healthy working environment helps to improve productivity among staff but more importantly keeps everyone motivated.

Assured Services - Uniting Business After the combined work of Assured Services and Shadow Corporation, we were able to host the states first public Inquiry session. Once we overcame a technical issue we saw a large crown of curious individuals flood the auditorium of the Ex-Assured Services Head-office. These guests ranged from civilians to business owners all eager to present their ideas, voice concerns or just spectate the discussions. This was a monumental event, not only was it the first public Inquiry session but it allowed those who were unable to raise their concerns to have a voice. After hours of fruitful discussion the panel of representatives was joined by Commissioner Lewis Langley who helped to consolidate and bring the discussions to a close. Notes were collected by members of the business licensing bureau and will be reviewed in government meetings following the session. The Chamber Of Commerce will continue its efforts by offering support to those who need it as well as offering representation to all those in business. Over the following weeks we will maintain contact with city hall and schedule a follow up meeting to ensure that this progression continues. We look forwards to hosting more of these meetings in the future to improve the dialogue with city hall and help make improvements to the state!

Business Unity In the days leading up to the Chamber Of Commerce first public Inquiry, Paulo has been doing a lot of preparation. One of his priorities is ensuring the safety of those in attendance to the event, following this Paulo reached out to Sebastian Papadakis to seeks the help of Cerberus Security who services have been used previously by Assured. During their meet-up Sebastian acknowledged the importance of this event and offered his services free of charge in good faith. He will be bribing on addition staff and establishing a training session with his personnel to ensure that everyone received the high quality security available. We at Assured Extend our gratitude to Alpha Enterprises for their services.

Board of Executives Wednesday the 20th of January saw the unfortunate departure of Chris Crawford from Assured Services. Chris was the last remaining founding members of Assured alongside Paulo having dedicated countless hours to getting Assured to where it stands today as one of the biggest corporations in Los Santos. He was the true embodiment of our core values that we preach to all staff offering nothing but the best for the company. Although it's with a heavy heart that we must wish him well with his future endeavors, his hard work and commitment will be remembered. Following Chris' departure, the position of Chief Operations officer became available. It was Paulo's pleasure to offer this leadership role to James Hawkes. James previously server Assured as the Chief Liaison Officer for the company, offering his Canadian charm, leadership abilities and technical skills to help improve the company as a whole. James' work can be recognised across the board, from the Logo which represents the company to the staff which he has helped recruit. The position could not have gone to a more worthy candidate and Paulo looks forward to working with his new right-hand-man. This however was not the only big change to take place, a new chair has joined the executive boardroom and we welcome the position of Chief Financial Officer to the table. With the company constantly expanding, there's a growing need for increased organisation and book-keeping. Again, this position was an easy decision to make for Paulo as he turned to Blair Allison to fill the position. Blair has been a loyal colleague and friend of Paulo for over a year, running the Maze Bank West Subsidiary. Although her primary focus is in finance, Blair can't resist offering assistance where ever it's needed from managing stock levels at Pacific Bluffs to buying staff uniforms. This not only demonstrated her skills in finance but also her undivided loyalty to the company. James and Paulo welcome Blair with open arms and look forward to her working closely with her.

Chamber Of Commerce Shadow Corp and Assured Services are two very similar organisations, sharing their core beliefs for the free market and business conduct. In previous discussions between the two CEO's Xoza presents the idea of founding the states first Chamber of Commerce to connect the public and government together. This independent organisation will help improve communication, holding meetings, expressing concerns and opening a dialogue between those who make the decisions and those who are affected. When the concept was first presented by Xoza there wasn't enough demand for the Chamber and the idea wasn't taken any further. During the transition into the new year however, several changes in state policy have sparked concerns among business owners and Paulo reached back out to Xoza to re-ignite the idea. Xoza followed up on the meeting by founding the Chamber Of Commerce group on LifeInvader, allowing both CEO's to reach out to all their business contacts and invite them to the first meeting. An email was also sent off to the board of commissioners and the business licensing bureau at City hall in which a prompt response was given, endorsing the event and offering representation from the government. The committee will help voice the concerns of the people and offer support to those who need it.

Sponsorship Over the previous months, Assured Services has been forging and building their relationship with Burnout Nation. Burnout is very close to home for several members of Assured who play an active role within the club. Today Paulo met up with founding member, Asbjorn Schmidt to discuss sponsorship opportunities. Burnout previously agreed to sponsor an upcoming car meet, proving a handsome sun of $75,000. After hearing about a drag race in the pipeline, Paulo was keen to return the gesture and offered the reward for a race category. In return, Asbjorn dashed back to the clubs apartment to retrieve the limited edition Coquette D10. Paulo was let loose behind the wheel, testing the vehicle's limits around the state of Los Santos, hitting speeds of up to 261 KpH. Both factions look forward to attending each others events and seeing what the future holds!

Pacific Bluffs Grand Opening Sunday the 17th of January saw the opening of Pacific Bluffs. Hundreds of people across the state swarmed the front car park to partake in the festivities of the evening. This opening was a significant milestone for Assured Services as it will help facilitate more community events as well as expanding our staff team. For the grand opening, Pacific Bluffs went the extra mile to ensure all his guests had the highest quality entertainment for the evening. On center Stage we had Don Mozzerella blasting out tuned for the guest on the center dance floor and Sean Brunotte singing live for our VIP's. We believed it was vital that we achieve ultimate customer satisfaction which is why we gave away 307 bottle of alcohol for free to our esteemed guests. The event allowed for guests to show off their unique outfits and interestingly choreographed dance routines. Overall the event was a resounding success, from the excellent quality of Service to the great customer feedback everyone enjoyed their evening. All staff received a 100% bonus on their wages for their hard work throughout the evening. We look forward to hosting many more events in the future.

Assisting Entrepreneurship Paulo's always been a firm believer in innovation and entrepreneurship, he's always willing to offer assistance for those who are wishing to establish themselves amidst the business community of Los Santos. One day, Paulo was approached by one of his clients, asking advise on how they should go about establishing their Event Organizing business. Paulo offered his peals of wisdom, helping to explain the core mechanics of business in Los Santos as well as the means to get established. Fortunately, due to Paulo's networking he was able to provide contact details for a suitable business location, two sponsorships aswell as offering to facilitate their first Public event.

Business Relationship Following his previous visit to Premium Deluxe Motorsport, Assured Services launched several vehicle giveaways across the company subsidiaries. Given the success and feedback Paulo received from this first wave, he reinvested $500,000 into four sports cars: Obey 9F Cabrio, Rapid GT, Jester and Elergy Retro. Customers of Assured Services will have the opportunity to get their hands on this range of high end vehicles into the following month(s) through various channels. Big thanks to James Eriksen at Premium Deluxe Motorsport!

Returning to Roots Following the unfortunate departure of his Estate Agent, Dashy Valentino, Paulo jumped back into his old role of marketing and negotiating with prospective buyers. Paulo me with MotorBike club president, Riley Connors, to discuss Riley's club and need for expansion. Until recently, the club had been operating out of a members apartment from within the city but with the addition of new members, a change was needed. Assured Property Management was able to show Riley around some select properties that had been hand-selected for Riley's needs. After several house meeting and discussions with the club members, we were able to find a new property for Reapers MC. Members can be seen celebrating the new property acquisition.

With the opening of Pacific Bluffs edging closer, Paulo was faced with the arduous of task procuring a huge quantity of beverages and snacks to feed the attendants. After consulting his staff team, Assured Services reached out to their long time associated Shadow Corporation and Shore Paradise. After a scheduled meeting with both business owner, Pacific Bluffs was able to acquire all the food and drinks necessary to make the evening a success. On the first night Paulo, James and Blair met with Stefanie Huth (Owner of Shore Paradise) armed with a fleet of vehicles. Stef acknowledged the magnitude of the operation in hand, and as an act of good faith purchased a mule to assist with the transportation at no extra cost. After hours of hard graft they managed to transport 5700 kilograms of produce to the club. On the second day, Paulo with Xoza Shadow (CEO of Shadow Corporation) to resolve the second part of the invoice. While completing the money transaction, they were both confronted by a local fisherman wishing to sell his produce. After giving the man a lift to the local drop off, Xoza presented the idea to the individual of lending us an extra pair of hands. He gracefully accepted the offer, and they all visited one of the Corporation's associated stores in Chumash, loaded the stock and moved it down to the club. The helpful assistant was paid by Shadow Corp and Assured Services for his services. A letter send off by Paulo to both businesses...

I have this issue with my Club. Everytime I leave and enter the property, roughly 20 bits of furniture will disappear. After entering the property for the 10th time, the entire building is gone.

After a snowy evening drive, Paulo arrived at the country club to find a letter waiting for him. After receiving the post from the courier driver, he unveiled a new security contract sent over from Alpha Enterprises detailing a long term contract. After carefully reading over the terms and conditions, Paulo signed the contract and posted in back to Sebastian Papadakis, entering Assured Services and Cerberus Security in a long term business relationship.

Paulo and James have a long lasting relationship dating back years from when they first purchase PDM together in 2016 and years later they are still working closely together!
