Lucketts and National Express strike gold with three wins each

Coach operators and their staff throughout the country are celebrating after being named as winners in the 2018 UK Coach Awards. The tenth annual awards were presented before an audience of over 280 industry movers and shakers in a glittering ceremony at Viva Blackpool, the resort's stunning Vegas-style venue on the evening of Thursday 10 May.

Coach driver Peter Oakley has been presented with a highly commended certificate in the category "Top UK Education Services Driver" launched for the first time this year.

Peter is a driver with GSAL in Leeds, which provides transport services for The Grammar School at Leeds. He was nominated by GSAL earlier this year for the first ever UK Coach Award in the new Top Education Services Driver category.

His nomination followed an internal competition to select the best of their workforce to go forward to the UKCA contest. Unfortunately, there were insufficient entries this year to enable a viable competition to be held - but the judges felt that Peter fully deserved a highly commended certificate for his success internally and for doing a great job for GSAL.
