Richard Stevens, managing director of Go South West – which includes Plymouth Citybus – has been shortlisted for a top award.
He is a finalist in the Manager of the Year, Large Operator, in the routeone Awards 2022.
Now in their 16th year, the bus and coach industry’s premier recognition scheme rewards excellence among operators and individuals.
A diverse judging panel of industry experts have drawn up a shortlist of potential winners from an exceptional selection of entries. The finalists are now one step closer to being recognised as the best in the business at the awards ceremony event in Birmingham in November.
Event director Helen Conway said:
“After two years of disruption across the sector, we are delighted to host the routeone Awards again in November. As ever, the Awards seek to reward people and operators for their exemplary achievements at a fantastic in-person presentation evening where we can truly celebrate the best in our industry. It is a huge achievement to be shortlisted, and we wish all our finalists the best of luck.”
A total of 68 finalists are competing across 15 categories, including two new categories.
The Above and Beyond Award recognises individuals or businesses that have gone the extra mile to support their organisation and the wider coach and bus industry since 2020.
Outstanding Customer Experience rewards the individual or team that has put their customers’ experience at the forefront of their thinking and intends to keep it there.
