Perryman’s were the winners in the category for Small Bus Operator of the Year (1-30 vehicles).

Commenting on the company’s success, Richard Perryman says:

“We are absolutely thrilled to win this award, it recognises our company’s commitment to providing our customers with the best possible service. It’s the culmination of years of hard work and dedication by all of our staff. In recent times our industry along with many others have faced very tough trading conditions but to ‘‘Ride the Storm’’ and come out being recognised with this award is an absolute delight. Obviously our continued growth wouldn’t be possible without the loyal support from our Customers for which I am very gratefull. We hope by continuing to provide our customers with the best levels of Customer Service and Modern Safe vehicles we will continue this success story."

The awards presentation was hosted by the Editor of Route One magazine, Mike Morgan, and Garry Richardson, from BBC Radio 4 sport. “These are the premiere national awards for the coach and bus industry,” says Mike Morgan. quote “Perryman’s were up against the best of the best in the country so this is therefore a well-deserved and a significant achievement. Coach and bus travel plays a significant part in the life of the nation and the Route One Operator Excellence Awards identifies and promotes excellence, promoting best practice and demonstrating the high standards of quality of service that exist for the benefit of travelling public.”
