This year’s judges are: Joan Aitken OBE, former Traffic Commissioner for Scotland; David Cattermole, former Managing Director of Galloway Travel; Richard Delahoy, Transport Consultant; Nigel Eggleton, Commercial Director at CT4N and former Managing Director with First Bus South Yorkshire and Midlands; Mark Fowles OBE, former Managing Director of Nottingham City Transport; Graham Russell, former Director at FirstGroup; and Norman Thomas, former Engineering Product Manager for Volvo Bus.

SPS have been shortlisted in the following two categories:

  1. Best Use of Technology (up to 150 vehicles)
  2. Simon Mohammad – Manager of the Year (small/medium operator up to 150 vehicles)

It’s a great testament to our whole team of colleagues for delivering excellence in all that they do.

The winners will be announced on the evening of 8 November at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole.
