Our regular guests will know how invaluable a knowledgeable and helpful driver is and how it makes all the difference on a coach holiday. What’s more, a coach driver with real character and personality puts the WOW factor into a holiday or short break.
With our drivers having such a key role to play in the delivery of outstanding service to our guests, it is only right that your feedback provides significant contribution to judging our Driver of the Year award. In addition to this, a range of other driver related skills are taken into account, ensuring the award recognises the drivers who perform to the pinnacle of their profession throughout the season.
This long running award always generates a lot of excitement and competitive spirit amongst our driver team.
Ian joined us in February 2022 and works out of our South East interchanges predominantly to his favourite resorts of Tenby and Porthcawl, but has visited many other resorts too. One of our smoothest drivers scoring very highly on our optidrive system.
Keep a look out for our Driver of the Year this holiday season. You’ll be able to identify Ian’s coach by his Driver of the Year livery!
Darran is in his first season with us having joined in July. He again works out of our Southern region and has covered a mixture of tours this season including many visits to Criccieth and Llandudno.
Lawrence has been with us for nearly 9 years and works out of our South East interchanges predominantly to Tenby and Porthcawl. After providing many happy holidays to thousands of customers, Lawrence is now enjoying a well deserved retirement and will be fondly missed by us all.
Lee has been with us for nearly three years and over those three years has been Rising Star, 2nd Place (Last Year) and now 3rd place, so a consistently high scorer. Lee works out of our Southern region and mainly tours to Great Yarmouth and Cromer.
Thank you to all of our customers who wrote in with tales of how your driver went above and beyond to make your holiday a memorable one. This feedback plays a big part on determining our Driver of the Year awards, so keep the letters coming and next year you might see you favourite driver coming out on top!
