A whole series of companies projects and people involved in the growing success of the UK's bus industry were recognised at a glittering ceremony in London on Tuesday 18 November. The event, held at Battersea Evolution, was attended by over 750 industry movers and shakers.
Congratulating all the finalists, UK Bus Awards chairman John Owen said that the standard of entries had been “amazingly high”. He added, “Our winners today are delivering innovation and marketing, supported by top quality customer service. The result is strong passenger growth and a shift from car to bus in towns and cities all over the country.”
The UK Bus Awards web site, redesigned and updated for 2008, offers a range of news, information and facilities about the awards.
The awards were presented on 18 November 2008 at a glittering ceremony at Battersea Evolution in London, before an audience of some 750 industry movers and shakers.
The prizes were presented by Dr David Quarmby CBE and the keynote speakers were transport minister Paul Clark MP and CPT President Giles Fearnley.
Our warmest congratulations go to all the winners - and indeed all the finalists, who offered superb examples of the excellence which the awards are trying to recognise and reward!
