A WOODLEY-based coach company is one of the best in the country after receiving a special accreditation.
Stewarts Coaches, now part of National Express Transport Solutions, has received the Driving and Vehicles Standard Agency (DVSA) Earned Recognition scheme.
The voluntary scheme requires companies to regularly share fleet performance data in exchange for their vehicles being less likely to be stopped for roadside checks, or visited by officials on site.
Operators undergo a stringent process of pre-validation checks followed by audits to ensure all protocols and procedures are in place and followed to the required exacting standards.
Tony Lawman, managing director of National Express Transport Solutions, was thrilled.
“It is fantastic to be recognised for our very high standards,” he said.
“Safety is at the heart of everything we do and this is testament to the hard work and commitment of all or our teams.”
