As well as achieving 50 successful years in business, we also celebrate Ian’s 50th birthday today! 5️⃣0️⃣🥳

Our Coach Driver, Transport Manager, Vehicle Technician and Funeral Director.

Ian was repairing and maintaining coaches whilst still at school, working late into the night, his teachers would question why he was always tired! He was never going to do anything else and joined the family business fulltime the day after he left school. With a passion for coaches, especially his beloved Volvo and DAF he passed his PCV test just 5 days after his 18th birthday. Driving all over the UK and Europe with his most recent journey being an aid trip to Ukraine. Ian was recently recognised by a teacher on his coach who informed him that he was also his driver when he was a pupil at school and that he had never changed!

Mixed emotions yesterday as Dave Broomfield and his team from Generation Travel in Teeside set off on their second Ukraine Aid Journey.

Sadly, work commitments have prevented us from joining him, but we were able to provide him with excess aid supplies from our journey in April.

We are in regular contact with the humanitarian centres and will assess the need for a future journey.

We wish them a safe journey 🚍🇺🇦
