Renowned Cirencester coach company Alexcars has announced it has ceased trading due to a 'total loss of revenue'.

The family run company which has been transporting customers for over seventy years announced the news late last night.

In a statement, a spokesman for Alexcars said: "It gives great sadness to announce that the directors of Alexcars Ltd have taken the extremely difficult decision to hang the keys up and cease trading.

"A number of factors in a short timeframe have impacted the business, not least Covid-19 which has brought a total loss of revenue in what should be the busiest time of year.

"Alexcars has been proud to serve the people of Cirencester and surrounding areas since 1946 and we are extremely grateful to our customers and fantastic staff and for their loyalty over these years.

"During these difficult and challenging times, please stay safe, look after each other, and support your local businesses wherever you can.

"If you have a booking or for any other business enquiries please refer to the appointed administrators Hazelwoods - further details will be found on our website."
