Here’s what some of them had to say about the event...
We go to Coach & Bus Live to keep up with the industry. We also go to look for new business, which we have gained. It is a good day out and well worth the travel. It is surprising what you can learn at the event.
Amy & Will Andrews, Andrews Coaches
It’s a one-stop-shop for me travelling from Ireland, with new vehicle launches and innovative products available… it’s like Christmas morning! You won’t want to miss it.
Kieran Flynn, Flynn’s Coaches Ireland
We attend every Coach & Bus Live event as we find it so convenient to talk face to face with almost all the relevant suppliers within the industry. It also gives us a great opportunity to see the newest vehicles on the market under the same roof.
Brian O’ Donnell, Transport Manager at BusFeda
No one in the industry should miss this event. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded people and to see the latest products and companies.
Nicola Hughes, Gwyn Jones & Son Ltd
Coach & Bus Live is well worth the journey to the NEC to keep up-to-date with industry developments, speak to suppliers and for the wonderful opportunity for networking.
Clive King, Business Development Manager at Arriva the Shires & Essex
Contacts and leads a plenty. Always worthwhile to go as not being there sends the wrong message to both clients and suppliers. Well done to the whole team for providing a superb platform for our industry.
Steve Jacobs, Sales Manager at Kopak
As a fast growing and progressive business we always make a point of visiting Coach & Bus Live. The event showcases new and exciting technologies, and is the perfect environment in which to compare and contrast products and services in a compressed timeframe. It’s also a great place to meet current and potential clients, friends and industry peers. Don’t miss it!
Mark Drury, Passenger Plus Ltd
The event was a fantastic and enjoyable day out. I was a first time visitor and was made to feel very welcome at all of the stands. It was nice to put a face to the voices. I’m looking forward to it again this year!
