Our Drivers

We have always understood that no matter how much you invest in your vehicles, without the right drivers you will never provide the level of service customers are entitled to.

All our drivers appreciate the importance that their attitude has on the enjoyment and safety of our clients journeys and it is with pride that we feel that we have some of the most professional drivers in the industry as seen by the comments made by satisfied clients in the testimonials section of this website.

Our drivers are fully qualified to drive the vehicles, holding either D (over 16 seats) or D1 (up to 16 seats) PSV driving licences also due to the nature of our work they hold enhanced DBS clearance.

As well as this we provide the opportunity for our drivers to obtain their Drivers Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) as well as The St Johns Ambulance certificate of competence in Emergency First Aid.

We also use Mr Stephen Early as our Independent Health and Safety Consultant to advise our drivers on the correct procedures when dealing with hazards found in and around the vehicles.

School Coach Hire Booking Form

Recommendations

We would recommend the following to a School:

To have one member of staff responsible for all school coach booking and not leave it up to individual departments. That person would soon get to know the good from the bad.
Require that all departments request coaches by the number of passengers and not coach size. This allows for the use of smaller (cheaper coaches).
Always E-mail any orders or alterations, never rely on telephone calls.
Book coaches as early as possible, especially in the summer term. We would rather our schools’ book and then cancel, than us not be able to provide a coach. This is especially the case for PE departments with annual repeat fixtures. We recommend booking summer fixtures before the Easter Holidays.

We have recently noticed an increase in the number of schools requiring 16 seater coaches when previously they would have used their own mini-buses. We find the main reason being the lack of teachers with the necessary driving licence entitlement either due to length of time they have held their licence or the tendency for manufacturers to produce mini-buses over the 3.5-tonne limit (information regarding who is allowed to drive school mini-buses can be found here)
