Coatham at forefront of coach industry ’ s new driving force
This summer Coatham Coaches embarked on an exciting new journey by becoming one of the founder members of the newly formed Coach Travel Group . “ This is hugely exciting , not just for Coatham Coaches but for the coach travel industry ,” says MD Mark Hodgson .
“ By merging with quality coach travel businesses from across the UK , we can provide sustainability for our staff and our clients for the years ahead .
“ To be approached to be part of this new group and join this exciting journey is testament to the work we ’ ve put in at Coatham .
“ As we ’ ve gone through a period of growth , we worked extremely hard to evolve , innovate and maintain a modern fleet to keep standards high across the operation .
“ We can now improve our offering to customers across the Tees Valley by drawing on support from our fellow operators .
“ If a customer needs something a little bit different , such as fully branded coaches , corporate team coaches or
simply extra vehicles for large events , we can now literally do it all .”
The new group ’ s ambition is to be the leading provider of high-quality , professional , trusted coach travel services in the UK by leveraging the strengths of brands and coach operators who are trusted in their local areas .
“ We are proud to be in such great company ,” adds Mark . “ The group gives us real operational strength to keep our clients moving . We can now support a Teesside customer who may need transport not just in Teesside but from 16 well-equipped depots spread right across the UK .”
The Coach Travel Group is the result of a strategic acquisition of several marketleading operators , including Alpine Travel ,
Barnes Coaches , Coatham Coaches , JH Coaches , Johnsons Coaches , Swans Travel and the Ready Group .
