November 02 2022

Richard Holden MP has been announced as the new Minister for Buses in the Department for Transport. We were delighted to welcome the Minister to the Euro Bus Expo where he delivered a keynote speech, while also taking the time to speak with us on our stand.

We look forward to working with him to help coaches and buses play their full part in the development of the nation’s wealth and health.

We also thank Baroness Vere for her work in the role for the past three years and wish her well in her new brief in the Department for Transport.
