CCL Founder Joseph Seluk (left) and Grace Limousine President and CEO Michael Campbell
Manchester, N.H. — Grace Limousine has recently purchased Capital City Limousine (CCL), a Concord, N.H.-area livery company with a strong brand in the region. Founded in 2007, CCL has nearly $500,000 in annual revenue. With this acquisition, Grace Limousine broadens its reach into northern New Hampshire.
Both Grace’s President and CEO Michael Campbell and CCL’s Founder Joseph Seluk are confident that this transition will improve service for their clients. CCL’s key chauffeur and office staff will join Grace, strengthening its ranks and ensuring consistency for CCL’s longstanding clientele.
Seluk, who will stay on with Grace as a consultant, commented: “I am truly excited for Capital City’s clients. Grace has a newer fleet and 24/7 reservation support that, as a smaller company, we were unable to provide. It was time to pass the baton, and I knew Grace would be the one to take us further and faster. I am very confident that our clients will continue to experience the exceptional A+ BBB service from Grace that they received from Capital City.”
Campbell added, “I am ecstatic that we are able to add Capital City Limousine’s strong brand and loyal clientele to the Grace Limousine family. I admire the way Joe has grown his business from the ground up, and I am looking forward to working with him and his staff to provide his clients with the very best chauffeured car experience available.”
Founded in 1990, Grace Limousine is a family-owned business that serves New Hampshire, the Merrimack Valley, and Boston North. Capital City’s fleet and key personnel will enable Grace to continue to provide deluxe and dependable service.

Meredith A. Bach, Vice President of Sales and Marketing
White Plains, N.Y. — LSW Chauffeured Transportation (LSW), a provider of premier chauffeured service to Westchester County, New York City, and Connecticut, recently appointed Meredith A. Bach as vice president of sales and marketing.
LSW’s CEO Melissa Thornton says that Bach was hired to the executive team to “leverage her luxury brand experience and long history of results-oriented sales and marketing strategies.”
Bach plans to play a key role in developing marketing and business plans to help LSW continue to grow and succeed and increasingly gain excellent customer and trade recognition.
“One reason I was intrigued by this opportunity,” says Bach, “is because LSW is a smaller, family-run business. I grew up in the Melba Inn in New Canaan, Connecticut, where my great-grandfather started the business. Living and working in the hotel as I was growing up was a great way to learn the hospitality business firsthand. My knowledge continues to grow and stay relevant with changes in our marketplace.”
Bach is an accomplished sales and marketing manager, who has overseen all aspects of the hospitality industry, from sales to quality of service. She recently served as the point person for corporate clients at the inaugural KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, held at Westchester Country Club in June 2015.
Bach brings with her a capability to manage multiple projects and initiatives, along with a deep working knowledge of what it takes to enhance the luxury customer experience and boost brand recognition. She has carefully curated this knowledge through professional experiences with top global luxury brands, including Polo Ralph Lauren, American Express, the United States Tennis Association, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Tory Burch.
As a business leader, Bach is a creative marketer and networker whose initiatives are efficiently executed and implemented by using excellent and thoughtful communication skills.

St. Louis, Mo. — Small Business Monthly Magazine selected JED/Country Club Limousine as one of the 50 fastest growing companies in St. Louis. Rick Hutson and Vince Schneider, owners of JED/Country Club Limousine, were not only given the award but were featured in a photo that accompanied an article entitled “The Hardest Working People in Small Business: Get inspired by the Area’s Top Small Companies.”
“We are honored to be selected for this award,” said Schneider. “We attribute our growth to our commitment to customer service and our fleet of vehicles, which are not available anywhere else in St. Louis.”
Schneider started Country Club Limousine in 2004 with just one vehicle concentrating on the retail market. They merged with JED Limousine in 2010, changing the focus of the business to 80 percent corporate and 20 percent retail. Additionally, they added motor coaches to their fleet in order to allow their clients to have a one-stop experience when booking for-hire transportation.
JED/Country Club Limousine was the only transportation company recognized for this award. Hutson attributes part of their success to their team. “We have a staff of outstanding individuals who carry our focus of always providing an outstanding customer experience throughout everything they do. Their attention to detail has helped us to continue to grow into a leader in the industry.”
“It’s going to be fun watching these entrepreneurs continue to build their companies in St. Louis. They are on the cusp of even more greatness and we can’t wait to help them celebrate,” said Ron Ameln, Publisher of Small Business Monthly Magazine in his publisher’s letter.
