Southern Vectis parent company Go South Coast scooped 2 major accolades at the prestigious RouteOne Bus Awards this week.
Go South Coast was named Large Bus Company of the Year, whilst boss Andrew Wickham picked up the Manager of the Year Award in a double triumph.
Singled out for its customer service; innovative facilities (like free WiFi, USB charging points and contactless ticket payments); community relations; employee engagement; sustainable transport initiatives and passenger growth, the operator beat off competition from bus firms across the UK.
Andrew said:
“I am tremendously proud of our achievements – and they are in no small part due to the efforts of Southern Vectis on the Isle of Wight.
“I am lucky enough to work with wonderful people here, and I’m delighted for the entire team.
“This group of experienced and highly skilled professionals provides our customers with an excellent service, transporting them across the island with the minimum of fuss. This is just reward for all their efforts.
“I’d like to congratulate all those who have contributed to an incredibly successful year.”
