Ruby Services improves hygiene measures and offers transport to key workers

Yacht chauffeur specialist Ruby Services has announced the extent to which it has improved its hygiene standards amid the COVID-19 outbreak, and has also revealed it is offering transport to local medical personnel in place of its VIP clients.

In a move that was quickly validated by the mayor of Cannes in early March, Ruby Services will continue to provide this service for the duration of the pandemic.

To limit the spread of the virus and to protect its drivers and passengers, Ruby Services uses PureSpace Yachts, an innovative technology also utilised in hospitals, to disinfect and sanitise the full interior of each car in its fleet. Its entire team wear gloves and masks at all times and they have undergone training to adapt to new hygiene measures.

Masks and hand sanitisers are also available for clients, but as an additional layer of protection, no other products are currently at the disposal of clients.

After each trip, the car receives a professional car wash while the chauffeur cleans the full interior, including the door handles, steering wheel and gear stick.

Ruby Services CEO, Mohamed Zouikri, said, “Luckily we had a big supply [of masks] in the office before the crisis really started rolling.

"We are also about to set up kind of a ‘plexiglass airlock’ between the passenger’s seat and the front seats. We are used to caring for others in our profession, it’s not unusual for us at all, to walk the extra mile.”
