Local company Morebus has been named UK Bus Operator of the Year.
The recognition comes from this year’s UK Bus Awards, which also handed out two other titles to the Dorset company including Top Shire Operator.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to receive these prestigious awards – and they are thoroughly deserved by our excellent team, here at Morebus in Dorset and across our operators on the south coast,” said Morebus managing director, Andrew Wickham.
It is the third time we have won this accolade – with awards also in 2017 and 2018 – and only two other companies have ever achieved this. It is wonderful recognition for the talents of all our colleagues here – from our skilful engineers, to the managers who ensure everything runs smoothly, the cleaners who keep our buses looking good, and of course our drivers who are the daily contact point for our passengers.
The award is also a nod to the mammoth mobilisation of new routes across our region, just one day after Yellow Buses ceased trading here.
“To be named top operator is an incredible achievement – and I am very very proud of each and every one of my colleagues.”
