Southern Vectis bus drivers Colin Fleetwood and Darrell Hadland are celebrating first and third place in their parent company’s Bus Driver of the Year Awards 2014.
Bus drivers from all of Go South Coast’s operators – including Southern Vectis – were eligible for the top driver accolade. Judges based their decision on a range of criteria – including drivers’ professionalism at work and stand-out skills during manoeuvres at a special event in Salisbury.
Go South Coast managing director, Andrew Wickham said:
“We are justifiably proud of our drivers across all Go South Coast operators, so the winners of these annual awards have to be something very special.
“I’m delighted that Colin and Darrell picked up first and third place respectively for Southern Vectis. It’s a reflection of the excellent service they provide to passengers across the Island – and I look forward to seeing that continue over the coming year.”
The pair will now be put forward to take part in a national awards event, due to take place in Blackpool during September.
