“ The pandemic made companies think about providing Covid-safe transport for staff to get to work , attend meetings or carry out site visits , and this trend has continued ”, says Mark Hodgson , MD at Coatham Coaches .
“ Hiring our transport can not only save fuel costs for your staff but also enables teams to travel together to build relationships , or you can take clients for days away . Using a coach instead of four , 10 or 20 cars can mean huge savings on your carbon footprint .
