Kathryn Pulham, director at Pulhams Coaches said: “This is a well-deserved achievement for Adrian and we are thrilled that his care and consideration to our clients and passengers has been well and truly recognised.

“This award clearly demonstrates a quality, safety and ability recognition – and one which we are all celebrating, at Pulhams.”

Tony Milhofer, owner of Routes to Suit Travel Ltd, said: “I was delighted to be able to nominate Adrian and even more delighted to discover that had won.”

He went on to say: “My wife and I have been running Routes To Suit Travel Ltd since early 1989, escorting groups and arranging travel for individuals.

“I have arranged and escorted many groups by coach, working with a number of firms and in recent years exclusively using Pulhams Coaches and always with the benefit of Adrian Waine as our driver.

He said: “Adrian is an outstanding coach driver who takes great interest in checking the detail of the proposed route, drives safely and sensibly and above all else he takes great interest in the comfort of his passengers.”

Speaking at the awards, which were held in Manchester, John Gilbert, UK Coach Awards chairman, said: “Coaching is above all a people business.

“Our customers demand improved quality both in terms of vehicles and staff. We cannot meet these demands without good business organisation and excellent staff.
