What schools and colleges say

Thomas Rotherham College

We’ve had great service from you this year.  It’s a huge relief for me, and the College, that we have a service we can rely on and one that is also responsive to our needs and the changes we have to make – often at short notice.

Thurcroft Infant School

Our Headteacher has asked me to email you to say a massive ‘thankyou’ to your drivers on our school trip to Filey yesterday. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they went above and beyond their duties to make sure the trip was an enjoyable one for the children and staff. We have used lots of different coach companies in the past but have never had such a good service.  I will definitely be recommending you to other schools in our area. Please pass on our thanks to the drivers concerned.

I wanted to pass on a message from our Headteacher. She was so pleased with the service that was received for the Kingswood trip last month. She mentioned how kind and helpful the driver was, could you pass our thanks on.
