We’re bringing together the expertise of our coach policy team and the knowledge we’ve gained from supporting operators of commercial vehicles for over 75 years to introduce a new annual membership designed specifically for coach operators.
The coach industry has been hit hard by Covid-19 with cancellations, social distancing and reduced demand from events and tourism seeing operational mileage significantly down. With 90% of the UK fleet parked up, we know the sector requires urgent support, operational guidance and tailored solutions to support business recovery.

Our experience of working with government to lead change puts us in a unique position to support coach companies moving forward.
