A very different father son experience.
My son Leo now 14, joined me as part of his work experience.
Big thank you to my team for making Leo welcome and engaging. I am very lucky to have an employer who supports this.

I am incredibly blessed to have such a wide and diverse skill set within my local team.
Jack’s skill set allows us to react on demand when I need graphics and destinations on the spot.

Two cars involved in theft of fuel in Matlock. Boxed in on the A610. Curious to hear the explanation for the containers of fuel, battery powered pump and why it was seen hooked up to a stationary bus. Second car involved stopped by Dales officers. Two arrested.

A great evening with my villager team talking all things villager! Especially the £1 million worth of new buses.. This was great session, plenty of feedback and positive engagement - simply the best part of my job, teamwork

Another fantastic session with the swift team this evening. A big uplift - doubling the frequency from hourly to every 30 mins between Ashbourne and Derby from 28th July - great team led by a great team leader Samuel Hollands, who presented this evening.

Huge thank you to
@ScaniaUK
for this superb Scania Irizar i6s demonstrator on trial for the past 3 weeks.
We’ve really enjoyed trialling this vehicle on our red arrow service, operating direct between Derby and Nottingham. It’s been a great experience.
A little visit to the team in Burton with mini me, doing the biz with our villager launch - £1 million investment hitting the road tomorrow ! Great work
@scarletmccourt
and Aaron Taylor, looks fantastic.

Out and about today - our Derby depot covers Ashbourne, Belper and Matlock. It’s important to drive yourself away from your office and engage with your team. With the cracking team at Belper today, conversations flowing - a really positive day.

So today was a 14 hour day, however an hour an a half of this day was taken up by spending time with my team - all to often we let the daily grind get in the way of evaluating our goals and assessing where we actually want to be, but not today.
Today we took time out

is in order for a re-visit
If this is your area of expertise & you’re looking for a new challenge - I’d highly recommend working with us. In my 17 years in the industry there’s never been a more exciting time to make your mark with company that empowers its team to deliver success
A very surreal experience travelling to the local pub on my local bus service (which I used to drive!). Seeing busy towns and a feeling of a safe clean environment was extraordinary, far from the lockdown scene.
