Sounds like Southern Vectis is going through a bit of a shake-up at the moment.
Marc Morgan Huws, who not only ran the Island’s only bus operator, Southern Vectis, but was a divisional director of the much larger Go-Ahead Group, has moved from the company on the Island.
Now at Damory
He tells VB that he is tied up on a project with one of the other three companies that he looks after within the Go South Coast Group.
We understand this to be Damory, a bus company in Blandford Forum serving the Poole region.
We went on to ask Marc when he was expecting to return to the helm at Southern Vectis, but he hasn’t yet responded.
Gavin Hunter has transferred to the Island from Metro Bus, another part of the Go Ahead group (that owns Southern Vectis), has been put in charge of operations here.
Option of voluntary redundancy
He’s told the CP that due to “increasing financial challenges”, they’re having to look at how they can save costs and have offered the option of voluntary redundancy to some staff members.
