Robert, who has been driving trentbarton buses for 13 years, said: “There’s a lot of great drivers at trentbarton. I really enjoy my job, the best thing about it is the customers.”

The Really Good Service Awards sees trentbarton recognise staff and teams across the business.

Tom Morgan, group managing director of buses at trentbarton’s parent group Wellglade, said: “What a great celebration of the wonderful teams of people in our business. It’s an opportunity to look back at the last year and all the wonderful things we have achieved.”
