Golden Boy Coaches Given Six Stars for Safety

For the first time in the UK a star rating system for coach operators has been introduced and already Golden Boy Coaches has achieved the maximum six stars.

The scheme is called Busk Benchmark and rates an operator purely on safety. The aim is to give group organisers peace of mind when hiring transport. By hiring a coach from a BUSK Benchmark member they can be confident that all the relevant background checks have been done and that the operator meets all the high standards required.

Olympic Gold

Golden Boy Coaches has recently been announced as one of the 44 contractors from all over the UK and Ireland which will be transporting athletes, team officials and the media during the London 2012 Games.

To be considered for the task we had to go through a long and competitive tender process which started back in 2009. We wanted to take part as London is so close to us and the London 2012 Games will be a once in a lifetime opportunity that we do not want to miss. We have already allocated a number of coaches for the games and look forward to a busy year ahead.
