Perryman’s are delighted to announce that they are the first coach operator in the area to become a BUSK Simply Safe member.

Although relatively new, the Simply Safe scheme has attracted almost 100 coach companies in just ten months. Why? Because, at last this is a scheme that assists schools and others when it comes to hiring a coach. It provides them with a completely free on-line service.

Through its research, BUSK UK has discovered that most schools obtain three quotes and then just choose the cheapest, unaware that it is vital to hire on safety criteria and not just cost alone. "The biggest problem for many schools is that they often do not know the questions they ought to ask, therefore they base the decision on cost alone. Simply Safe members provide, through their new teacher/parent page on their website, that all-important information without the need for any questions and without a sale pitch – it's all about safety." explained BUSK’s Director, Pat Harris.

Roddy Perryman from Perryman’s said, "We are so pleased to have been accepted onto the BUSK Simply Safe scheme. It meant we had to open up how we run our company and provide three years VOSA records to provide evidence that we are compliant with regulations and operate safely, but we were keen to prove we take passenger safety seriously and this is the only way we can demonstrate to customers that we care, in particular children on school trips."
