Andrew said,

“Dave is a true asset to the industry.

“These latest awards follow his extraordinary achievement in 2016 – when he was named UK Bus Driver of the Year. Since joining us in 2011, he has delighted co-workers and customers with his willingness to please – as well as for his commitment to fundraising for local good causes.

“I am proud to have Dave as a colleague and wish him every success for the coming year.”

Well rewarded
In recognition of his efforts, Dave received £3,500 worth of vouchers, and two weeks’ extra holiday, along with his framed certificate.
