Hawkes Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Relay Rally Race The team of Assured Services was invited by Burnout Nation Car Club to join their private event; a relay rally race at the winds farm. James Hawkes and Blair Allison met just before to dust off their Kamacho after being stored for a long time and enjoy some off road while Asbjorn Schmidt was setting up the vehicles. Once arrived the vehicles were already setup and ready to go! Don Mozzerella and Gareth Longford were the first to start the race with Gareth setting the bar high. Blair and Peter Stanford were next but were not fast enough. Sanjay Devils and James went on head to head. First lap was very close but James decided to do a crazy stunt to jump on Sanjay's BF400 and failed. Marco Davis and Asbjorn were next to race. They both followed each other and were very competitive following each other the whole rally. Asbjorn toke first place with Marco right behind him with second place. Eventually Paulo Witherfork arrived to the event, still hope for Assured Service to win, Paulo start the race and secured the third place making Burnout victorious.

Paulo Posted April 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 New Subsidiary in the Works - Assured Graphics Assured Services has always prided itself on offering such a diverse range of high quality services. Throughout the years, the public have always been keen to praise the level of standard of our logos, posters and advertisement material. Spearheaded by C.O.O James Hawkes our internal graphics department has produced copious amounts of unique and notable designs for our events and new branches which we have established over the years. Recently two government employees Sai Modi & Hector Price reached out to Paulo expressing great interest in joining Assured. After brief conversations with both individuals Paulo was able to identify that both had done various design works for small businesses in the state. After consulting James Hawkes, both were in agreement that there was space in the market for a graphics design agency and that this was a prime opportunity to capitalise and further expand the company. The following day, Paulo took both Hector and Sai into Bluff Tower and presented the idea to both individuals. Fortunately this idea was met with great enthusiasm and both were keen to get started. After assigning them both their first appointment and James creating a brand new logo for our newest subsidiary we look forward to seeing where this new branch goes. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Posted April 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Chamber Of Commerce - Results Back at the start of 2021 Assured Services Co-Founded the Chamber of Commerce to promote discussion and open a dialogue between Business Owners, State Officials and Citizens. The first meeting was highly successful with a large number of attendees actively participating in the discussions. During this meeting, we tackled pressing issues, resolved conflict and answered burning questions. During the time of the first meeting the state was going through a fuel crisis, through the Chamber of Commerce we were able to liaise with the Government to reduce the import price of fuel into Los Santos and therefore resolving the problem. Towards the back end of 2021 the state found itself in a similar situation with new government legislation draining businesses of all revenue and feeding the illegal weapons trade. A second Session was called for where the state expressed even greater concerns towards the states actions and sanctions they had imposed. After constant pressure from Assured Services for follow up meetings the state finally received some good new 6 months after the meeting. The government issued the following press statement: This was very reassuring news and has helped businesses somewhat reaffirm their confidence back in the government. Although they've started to tackle our primary concern from that last meeting we still await a face-to-face meeting with the government which we were promised to fully discuss the states strategy to resolve the issues brought forth by the people. We want to Assure all that we will continue our efforts in representing the state and continue to apply pressure to the government to resolve the collective concerns of the people.

Paulo Posted May 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Getting an Upgrade! It's no surprise to hear that Pacific Bluffs is Assured Services most successful business having hosted a plethora of highly successful events over the last year. Since it's opening, the club has maintained it's original stylish look but has been more then deserving of a makeover. With an event in the pipeline, there's no better time to revamp this legendary venue to give it some new features deserving of it's reputation. After consulting his list of contacts, Paulo commissioned the refurbishment of the venue with the aim of introducing new modern day technology into this classic club. Within the week, the construction team has established their work site in the carpark and had commenced the installation of several new lighting rigs. After 4 days had passed, Paulo was given the all clear to enter Pacific Bluffs where he received a tour by the site foreman who was able to introduce Paulo to his new ceiling display. Three new rigs had been mounted and wired above the center dancefloor to bring a bit of extra energy to the club and to help fill the empty space which once was there. This new light system comes equipped with hundreds of interchangeable light patterns through 700 individual LED light bulbs to bring an array of colour to the room. Paulo was more then impressed with the finished product and can't wait to test them out at the clubs next opening! As always a big thank you @MarcoD for his assistance in setting up the RP! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbra_Smith Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 Another cracker of a post from Paulo! I love the assured faction SO MUCH.

Umbra_Smith Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 If you read into the post a small bit you may be able to notice the biblical allusions, notice how after 4 days Paulo returned to see the lights, this is in reference to God creating the sun on the fourth day.

Umbra_Smith Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) There being "7"00 lights is also a biblical allusion, "Seven was symbolic in ancient near eastern and Israelite culture and literature. It communicated a sense of “fullness” or “completeness” (שבע “seven” is spelled with the same consonants as the word שבע “complete/full”). This makes sense of the pervasive appearance of “seven” patterns in the Bible." -Bible project. This is a reference to the next line of the book of genesis, where God saw that the sun and saw that what he had made was good.

Paulo Posted June 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Pride Night at Pacific Bluffs! Following the installation of the new lighting rigs at Pacific Bluffs the executive team it was long overdue to host another event. With June just around the corner, it was unanimously decided that Pacific Bluffs will host a Pride Night. En-keeping with the values of Pride month, we ensured that all would be welcome by making this the clubs first free entry event! In the lead up to the event, Paulo reached out to his list of contacts seeking support for the event. The department of Correction, Bayview & Burnout Nation all generously backed the event with financial aid and attendance from their organisations. C.O.O James Hawkes was once again tasked with creating an attention grabbing poster which was as always executed to perfection! On the day of the event, Paulo was met with eager attendees who had shown up to the venue up to 45 minutes early! Once all staff were briefed and suited it was time to let the masses flood into the venue. The event was a hit! With the carpark at capacity and the dance floor filled the events team had achieved another highly successful event! As the event came to a close, Paulo was met with generous praise from attendees! Not only was the event a success in terms of the customer satisfaction and turnout but also financially successful. Having generated revenues of $1,359,750 it makes the second most profitable event in Assured's History and brings the company's revenue's to over $45,000,000. The management team at Assured Services would like to extend our gratitude to Icarus Matsumoto, Jeremy Williams, James Hawkes, Marco Davis & Asbjorn Schmidt for staffing the event and making it possible! We thank all of those in attendance, and hope to see you all soon at our next event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Posted July 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Burnout Nation - 2 Year Anniversary Burnout Nation and Assured Services have been close counterparts for several years. Their relationship with each other has extended beyond each others official status from when both groups were in their infant stages. The ties between our two groups stems from several mutual members between each of the organisations, James Hawkes (Current C.O.O) and Chris Crawford (Founding Executive). From funds upwards of $730,000 being exchanged between the two groups to playing hide & Seek in Mirror Park and setting up legendary events it's safe to say that both groups stand alongside one another. A statement from the C.E.O: Since December 2020, Burnout Nation has maintained a strong lasting Relationship with Assured Services. Over the last two years, both organizations have continuously provided support to one another and been witness to each other's growth and prosperity! Since the foundation of Assured, Burnout Nation has contributed $375,000 towards community events, attended over 15 gatherings and collaborated on 3 joint events. These statistics help to quantify continued devotion between our two like-minded factions. It goes without saying that Burnout Nation has been one of our longest confidants and a crucial friend to our faction over the last two years! We hope to maintain our robust amity for many more years to come. Edited July 24, 2022 by Paulo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
