Dear Jade Hastie

First of all, I have to say thank you for this lovely time with you by our side. It means a lot for me and my company that every day you did such nice work with exemplary passion!

On a daily basis, you send me the driver details and all the changes that we have. You did this all in an excellent way. If we needed anything, you always gave us a fast reply – this was awesome!

From the first moment I discovered Belle Vue Coaches, it was 100% clear for me that you would all do a great job. I don’t know why, but it was love at first sight! 🙂

We received the feedback, from our client that everything is fine and the drivers did a great job. Please share this feedback with all your guys! I appreciate this time with you, and hope we work together again in the future.

Re: TAC Blackpool Lights Trip

Dear Sir/Madam,

We had a great day out and loved the executive mini-coach.

Our driver Kevin was flexible and very attentive to the elderly offering help with seat belts and ensuring all were comfortable prior to departure.

Taking us through the lights he ensured another comfort stop was as required.

We made sure the coach was kept clean and tidy along the journey but Kevin was also efficient in checking all rubbish was cleared and the coach ready for the next group.

Please keep his details on our file so he can be our driver next time.

Thank you and we look forward to the next trip.

Dear Mr. Hitchin

We returned safely from a very successful holiday to the Isle of Wight.

The new coach with wheelchair facility was a great improvement. Thank you!

We particularly want to commend our driver, Patrick on his exemplary conduct, patience, politeness and helpful assistance. Nothing was too much trouble. Not forgetting his excellent driving standard in sometimes difficult circumstances. He is a great asset to you. Please send him again when we next book a Belle Vue coach and pass on our sincere thanks.

Kind Regards

Dear Phil

Belle Vue’s service was exceptional!

From the great customer service provided by the office team during the initial booking process, all the way to the professionalism of the drivers on our journeys. They were incredibly flexible and happily made changes to their service based on our ever-changing requirements.

Belle Vue also provided high quality vehicles which were driven by well-presented and well-mannered drivers. We will definitely be using Belle Vue Coaches again in our future projects in the Manchester area!

Hi Phil 

Mrs G and my daughter Maisie have been on a school trip today from Millbrook Primary in Stalybridge to Chester.

Whenever they go on such a trip they know the first question I ask is what was the transport like, was the coach clean, was it safe, what was the driver like etc etc.

I walked in this evening and before I even had chance to ask they told me they have been on the best coach and the driver Dominic was amazing.

Apparently he had them singing wheels on the bus on the way to Chester and then to the whole class’s delight he had arranged for them to watch The Greatest Showman on the TVs on the way home, this was the highlight of the day according to Maisie.

Dominic was an absolute credit to Belle Vue, he was absolutely first class according to the girls!

Yvonne Hampson

Dear Belle Vue
We had a trip last Friday 6th July to Llandudno from Withington Community Hospital. I just wanted to take the opportunity to say how pleased we were with our driver Yvonne.

She was very kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for her and she helped make the day a great success.

We had a small problem on our return journey and Yvonne dealt with it quickly and professionally and it in no way marred our day.

We have always been impressed with your drivers, it is the main reason we travel with you every year for our trips and Yvonne is a credit to your company.

Yours sincerely
Michele Latham.

Hi to all, with RE: 52081

Our Sunday trip to Llandudno for a charity soul day was a big success and we would like to thank you for a fantastic Coach and a lovely driver Viv. She was a star and a very good driver, she did you proud and should we need your services again which is very likely, we would have her again if possible. We raised £715 on the day for The Christie’s Cancer Charity, and could not have done that without your help. So a big well done to all at Bellevue Coaches.

Thank you

Just wanted to message to say that Tim [the driver on the Y24] has been amazing while the weather has been so hot and the bus so uncomfortable for the children who I know individually as I am on the 24 almost every week as chaperone and have been for several years now.

He bought a cool box and filled it with water bottles and I brought extra water and every child on the bus had a cold drink – there were almost 50 children on board. I think he is very considerate and it’s a pleasure to work with him.

Subject: Tour Feedback

Hi there.
My name is Neil Mushrow, I am the tour rep from Inspiresports that supported St Johns School on the recent very successful trip to Manchester City Academy.

I am contacting you to praise the drivers involved in the Tour, Craig For picking me up in Leicester and Kevin and Rob for all their efforts over the week, Managing and coordinating the movement of 80 people to various locations, some at the same time and different locations took excellent teamwork and coordination.

The drivers have also received excellent feedback from the teachers and students of the school. Their local knowledge was fantastic, utilising backways around Manchester was very handy and helped with easy movement around our various locations.

I will highly recommend the Drivers and Bellevue to Inspiresports and future tours in Manchester and other areas and very much hope we can do more tours together.

Please pass on my comments to the drivers, they made the trip very enjoyable for all concerned.

If there is anything I can assist with please let me know.

Kind regards

Dear Belle Vue,
I am writing to you in regards to one of your drivers that took me and my group down to Cardiff, Rob.
Rob was brilliant for the full three days that we had him. He was very professional and respectful to all the guests over the duration of the tour and made sure that all health and safety procedures were carried out. He also had excellent personal skills and made you feel that you could approach him with ease and he would be willing to work together as a team.

I wanted to write this to you to make you aware of what a good job Rob did for us as I have dealt with many dodgy drivers in the past.

Subject: NST Battlefields Visit – Malbank School (16th-119th Feb 2018)

Good morning,
yesterday we returned from our visit to France and Belgium with NST, for which Belle Vue supplied the coach. It was our first trip using your company and we wanted to let you know how impressed we were with the quality of service you supplied, the coach was extremely well fit for the purpose and the students and staff travelled safely and in comfort throughout.

We particularly wanted to offer our praise to our driver, Rob. When you run as many trips as we do we come across coach drivers of varying quality, but we can honestly say that he was the best driver we’ve ever encountered. He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. The students and staff (as well as our tour guide from the British Consulate in Amsterdam) were singing his praises throughout the trip and this made an extremely positive contribution to the visit as a whole. We hope you are proud of him, he is a credit to your company.

We are looking to plan further tours in the future; our own trip to Hadrian’s Wall in 2019 and then the Battlefields with NST in 2020. For both of these trips we will be aiming to book with Belle Vue, and if we could get Rob again that would be even better.

Kind regards,

Craig Batty and Jim Clarkson

Hi Damian.
Just a quick email to thank you and your team for helping make our wedding such an incredible day.
Your guys on the bus sorted parking the bus on the square at the front of the town hall all off their own backs and with minimal fuss, this really helped to make it easy for our guests to board the bus and helped get one of our favourite pictures of the day so far which I will attach below.

I don’t know if anyone mentioned it to you but my Grandma had a little slip getting on the bus, she’s not as steady on her feet as she used to be, but again your team on the day dealt with this in the most professional and discrete way so that even though my grandma didn’t physically hurt herself, her pride and dignity stayed very much in tact too. The two gents helped her back to her feet and seated her comfortably on the bus with minimal fuss.

I cannot begin to tell you how much we appreciated everything that those guys did for us on Saturday, but hopefully this email starts to kind of explain how appreciative we all were of their help.

Thanks again for everything

Joe & Sarah.

I would like to thank your company for making our son’s wedding day so special. From the moment I contacted the company I have been very impressed with the professionalism of the staff in all the departments and the personal touch in ensuring that all our requirements were met.

Saturday was such a special day and being able to share that with all the guests on your vintage bus was wonderful. Your staff on that day, Janet and Kevin, were so professional, friendly and polite. It was definitely the finishing touch to a perfect day!

Hi,
Just wanted to give some feedback for our driver Mike last week (Urmston Grammar – Paris – 18th-22nd June). We had a few hitches along the way and Paris traffic was at times horrendous but Mike remained unruffled throughout. He was always punctual and flexible, very reasonable and got on excellently with staff and kids alike who were very sad to say goodbye at the end of the trip.

I would be absolutely delighted if Mike were to be our driver for any future school trip.

Thanks very much,

Hi.
Just thought I’d give some feedback about your drivers on our swimming trips each Wednesday, from Dial Park to Grand Central.

We have only had one ‘grumpy’ driver, who didn’t want to converse at all, but the others are delightful. They chat to the children coming on and off the coach and it makes a huge difference to the afternoon. I’d especially like to commend Julie, who always has a smile and a word for the children, and for staff too. She is never miserable and we really enjoy seeing her every week.

Thanks again.

Afternoon,
I just wanted to drop you a quick e-mail to let you know how lovely your coach driver this year has been. The gentleman at the beginning of the year was great and now Julie who takes us to swimming and back on a Thursday. They have really took the time to speak to the children and made the trip so much more enjoyable.

Julie even dropped a child’s swimming kit they had left on the bus back to us last week. So, I just thought I would mention that we appreciate the extra time they take to speak to the children and the patience they have.

Subject: Norris Bank Trip to Northumberland

Hello
Having just returned safely from our school’s three day residential trip to Northumberland, I would just like to drop you a line to thank our driver, Dominic for his attention and service on behalf of your company this week.

Arriving promptly on Monday in a fabulous air conditioned double decker that easily swallowed our 58 – eight year olds and their 9 accompanying adults, he helped the children board and loaded their luggage. On the road he responded to traffic on the clockwise M60 by taking the opposite route and throughout the trip was willing to listen to route advice. 

Dominic appeared every morning smartly dressed in his uniform and managed to be both highly professional as well as entertaining the children with his route announcements over the PA. 

We always felt safe whether on the motorway or navigating the tricky turns and car parks of Northumberland.

Please pass on our thanks to Dominic and we hope to be using your company again in the near future.

Kind regards,

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to your team for helping us out on Saturday. We were struggling for transport to an annual event that our young people really look forward to. I had been let down by another company but one of your employees (Damian Ditchfield) really pulled out all the stops to accommodate us and for that we are incredibly grateful.

Hi there,

I just wanted to say that we used your coaches today to take our school children to Smithills Farm and it was a real pleasure to travel on them. I was on Marcus Welby’s coach. We were really impressed with the coach – it was immaculate and the children were really happy to have a dvd played on the journey!

Marcus was really pleasant, very helpful and patient. He drove really safely both on the outward journey and the return. The other driver seemed very pleasant and helpful too but as I wasn’t travelling on his coach couldn’t comment more than that although everyone who travelled seemed happy. We will definitely mention it to our admin team to use you again.

Hi Rik

I would like to give you some feedback and yes, its positive! First of all I appreciate your professional manner of picking up us up from the arrivals hall and all dressed up, very nice! And our driver Mike was brilliant indeed! Very professional, always on time and tried to make our journey as pleasant as possible. I really appreciated that he checked the route before hand and also found out that the Keswick road was closed so he arranged an alternative route and that way we avoided a timetable disaster. I also appreciated the fact that he shared some information about the area.

I had reserved shoe covers for all the farm visits but unfortunately the last visit was a bit challenging because we visited both field and dairy buildings and I had to save the shoe covers for the dairy part and therefore our shoes were a bit muddy after visiting the paddocks as we entered to the bus. I am really sorry for this and I hope it didn’t cause too much trouble for Mike.

All in all I am very happy for the Bellevue service and bus quality. Keep up the good work! I am happy to contact you with future groups!

As you know we used your company for our trip to London last Saturday (12/30/2016), and we write to thank you for an excellent and professional service throughout.

Mike Harrison, our driver for the day, certainly kept our group fully informed of their need for strict time keeping, which he managed to achieve which indeed is a first for us!

We thank him for getting us to the venue and back home exactly on time and safely using a professional manner at all times. He did an excellent job.

We certainly will use Bellevue Coaches again and will recommend your service whenever possible.Once again many thanks. On behalf of Ukrainian Youth Association Manchester.

Dear Belle Vue transport,

I am emailing to express my thanks for two drivers who took us to London on the 27th January, their names are Rob Gill and Phillip Littlehales.

They were extremely professional throughout our two day trip and very friendly to talk to. They were also extremely flexible with toilet and refreshment stops.

What stood out to myself as leader of the group was their knowledge of the area where we were staying as well as knowledge of motorway services. We were extremely impressed with the new coach we had been given, it was very comfortable. Also Rob and Phil played all the dvd’s we asked for when we asked. We felt very safe and confident in their driving abilities and also in their interactions with our students. They are both lovely men and deserve a commendation for their hospitality and professionalism for our trip. They also communicated with us extremely well over the mobiles and met us promptly at each stop. Phil even walked to find us at the theatre to direct us to where the coach was parked.

Please thank them on behalf of Aquinas College, Stockport. We will certainly look to Belle-Vue to hire again,

I just wanted to write a quick email to say that I worked with Rob Gill as a tour manager last week and wanted to say thank you for his help and professionalism.

A passenger got sick from heat exhaustion and wanted to sit on the bus while I waited inside for the other passengers. He took care of her and got her St John’s Ambulance assistance when she needed it.

I know the passenger was very grateful and I was able to continue doing my job knowing she was in safe hands. He was a good driver throughout and made the trip safe and enjoyable.

In this job I meet a lot of terrible and unhelpful drivers so I thought I would write quickly to appreciate a good one.

My name is Chris Bass Gualbert and I had the privilege of being driven around Belgium by Phil on our recent trip with NST. Phil took the party of 46 to various venues in Belgium from Monday 13th-Friday 17th.

He was absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and he drove with absolute professionalism. He managed to get us where we wanted, when we wanted. He managed to load and unload the bus with speed and safety. This alone was a pretty enormous task bearing in mind how much equipment we had including a drum kit and 37 stands as well as countless orchestral instruments, keyboards and amplifiers.

Picking up was always on time and as close as he could possibly make it. He made the trip wonderfully enjoyable for all.

As the leader of the party I could not have been more impressed with his total dedication. I could not be more grateful. Many, many thanks for allowing us to have him for the trip.

I did ring your office to let you know how great your employee was when he drove for the Newmarket tour to Longleat. Although the coach had problems causing problems for our departure. Marcus kept us updated until the problem was resolved.

Throughout the trip he was helpful, polite and an all-round star! He is a lovely bloke and I hope he will be driving when I go to the Eden Project later this year. Please pass on this compliment to Marcus and especially his Managers.

Many thanks & Fondest Regards.

Just want to thank yourselves, the driver Alan, the conductor Joanne for an absolutely brilliant experience yesterday at our wedding. Everything couldn’t have gone better.

Alan was awesome, both of them really gave a really great service everyone had a great time on the bus and it was an absolute showstopper at the church.

The priest said it was a first for him to see a vintage bus turn up a the church…everyone was impressed. Thank you so much for adding that extra touch to our day we’re so glad we booked the bus!!!

Many thanks again for a brilliant experience on our special day.

Mr Roger Abbot

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter about your driver Matt Turner on the 21/04/15 as I feel that his actions went above and beyond the call of duty.

I was stood outside Trinity High School this morning waiting for a bus into town. There was an older lady crossing the road coming towards me in the bus stop. The old lady took a terrible fall into the middle of the road. Your driver whom was parked a little further down the road saw this happen. It is quite a busy road.. your driver jumped into action..

He first of all stopped all traffic coming from behind his coach.. making sure it was safe.. With myself he checked the lady was ok asking her various questions whilst he was calling an ambulance .. He stayed with the lady until the ambulance arrived and even offered me a cup of coffee which was very nice of him.

This driver must be a credit to your company and I wish to thank him so much as you don’t often see random acts of kindness like this any longer.

Re: 246 Bus Service Altrincham

I am writing as a senior Councillor of Trafford Borough Council regarding your operation of the above service, and in particular at the request of the service users. I am currently the vice chairman of the Licensing Committee, member of Manchester Airport Group and was a member of the Police Authority for 13 years prior to its dissolution.

I personally regularly use this service which runs past my home and accordingly have extensive knowledge of this route and furthermore the Transport facilities throughout Greater Manchester.Many of your customers give me a complimentary feedback of the excellent service offered and in particular the very helpful attention given by all your regular drivers to young mothers with children, passengers with disabilities and the elderly needing assistance with access.

I have personally discussed all this with your driver, Graham, David and also Alan who are all always willing to show kindness to all passengers. Graham has informed me that he also undertakes your school contract with St Ambrose College, Hale Barns (which is my own Ward) where I am a long serving Governor of the College.

Finally may I say that I am used to writing letters of complaint so it give me much pleasure to sincerely write this letter with my thanks and appreciation to your operation of the contract.

Please do contact me if I can be of further assistance or otherwise

Good morning,

This last weekend our rugby club, Old Brodleians, went on tour to Holland. The tour was arranged through S&C Travel Ltd, and we had a Belle Vue coach driven by Luis Moreira. It is a pleasure to provide some outstanding feedback in relation to Luis.

His driving and timekeeping were excellent, which you would expect generally. It was however the personal customer care provided by Luis that really stood out. We had a group consisting 11 adults and 24 Under 17 rugby players, and Luis engaged and communicated brilliantly with both age groups and was a real pleasure to deal with.

Luis ensured that the whole travel experience, despite being a lengthy journey, was of the highest possible standard. As our team coach commented (who was on his 3rd such tour) “Luis was by far the stand out amongst the drivers provided”

As a final comment, we were impressed with the quality of the coach and would have no hesitation in recommending or utilising your services for any future tours.

Ben Lyon

I am emailing to say how excellent the service was from Robert Gill, he was our driver whilst we were on tour from 2nd April to 6th April. Rob made our tour and the bus was impeccably clean. Could not recommend him more highly.

Dear Adam and the BelleVue team,

I hope you’re all well. Just thought I’d drop you a note to say a big thanks for providing the coaches and co-ordinating the car park yesterday! Without you and the efficiency of the team the School Games wouldn’t be able to run.

I’d also like to thank you for being patient with the last few stragglers that decided they wanted to hop on the buses after not requesting it, it’s really appreciated and we couldn’t have done it without the support from you all!

The event has gone down really well & we’ve had some great feedback already – Overall we had over 1600 young people participating, across 32 competitions and 13 Sports; and the competitions were supported by 170+ young volunteers, and further 30 + Volunteers.

My name is is Jo Atherton and I am a class teacher at Old Hall Drive Primary School and I took 60 Reception children to the farm on Monday 16th March.

There was two coaches booked, a yellow coach and a white coach that Mike was driving. My class had the pleasure of being driven by Mike on the white coach. Mike arrived early and his coach was immaculate. He was a delight with both the children and adults and I very much look forward to having him as our coach driver on future trips.

What a credit to your company!

We asked, “Did the organisation of the coaches work successfully?” “I would say, our driver from Bellevue coaches in England, Luis, was superb and was there early every day and knew exactly where he was going in NW England and in London. He was really excellent and if you are using Bellevue again, I’d really encourage you to try to get him as the driver.

He was great with the kids and a real asset to our trip. I would be most grateful if you could pass on my thanks to him, and make his manager aware of the excellent service he gave to our school.

I have provided a photo that I would also like you to pass onto him, the fact that a Man Utd fan lasted the very long weekend with a bus full of scousers must have really tested his patience!!!

Hi there Phil,

I just wanted to take the opportunity to get in touch with you, to discuss the highly positive experience that I have had over the last week, in dealing with your team specifically, Adam Bradshaw and Richard Tapper.

I had initially been in touch with Adam about photographing one of your vintage buses for my portfolio. While this sort of enquiry is not the norm for Adam (not being a sales enquiry), he was exceedingly helpful, accommodating, and went well out of his way to ensure that I had everything that I needed. A really pleasant individual, and a genuine credit to the company.

I was then passed on to Rik Tapper as he was working on the day that I came for the shoot. I cannot stress enough how far out of his way Rik went for us. He was obviously very busy, but made sure that the bus was close enough for us to reach the power cables with ( this was no mean feat, as the bus had to be woken up after its winter hibernation). On top of this he made absolutely sure that we had everything we needed.

I never write these sorts of e-mails, but I feel that in this case, it is really important to give positive feedback!

We write this message with huge thanks and gratitude, from the bottom of our hearts. Your vintage double decker bus set the scene for the start of our wonderful wedding day, on the 30th May this year, it was a great ice breaker for our guests, especially the fact that you allowed us to provide our own champagne on board.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the journey and we had huge compliments from all of our guests. Your company was professional and courteous at all times. Your driver George had a smile on his face throughout and was patient as a few guests were running late! 🙂

You were easily contactable throughout the months prior to the wedding to answer any queries, I even had a call from a manager the day before our big day to congratulate us and wish us all the best which was such a lovely message to have received.

So thank you Belle Vue for a day on one of your buses that we and our guests will never forget.

Dear Belle Vue,

We just wanted to thank you and our coach driver George for looking after our wedding party on 9th August. The vintage coach was a lovely addition to the wedding of our daughter and was a great way of getting guests to the reception and getting the bridal party to the church.

George was very helpful. The roads were very busy that day and there were several road works along the way which made it a difficult drive with a vintage bus, as was attempting to get the bus right to venue at Hilltop.

We really appreciate George’s efforts. We would like to commend him for his friendliness and hard work.

Dear Phil,

I just wanted to write to say how impressed we were with the service received from your company and, in particular, from the driver Rik for our daughter and her friends prom trip last Friday. One of the other mums had booked the vintage single decker bus so I spoke to Rik a few days before hand to firm the arrangements, given that our house was to be used for the departure.

He was very helpful and accommodating and on the day itself had the courtesy to ring me to confirm details and his arrival time. He arrived absolutely as agreed, the bus was just as the girls had hoped (all 12 of them…..) and his service and fun with them ensured that they arrived for their Prom in style and very happily.

Rik was courteous and polite with everyone, he quietly ensured that the trip went to plan so no parental worries were required and he gauged just perfectly the entertainment and fun the girls wanted for their journey. All the parents were delighted with the service and we will all highly recommend you.

Should the need arise for transport we will not hesitate to use you again in the future. I am aware that people are usually quick to complain and slow to praise so wanted to let you know how pleased we were with Bellevue coaches and what a good ambassador for the company you have in Rik.

Good evening Ian,

I hope this email is directed to the right person? Recently I was in England with Westlake Boys High School of Auckland, New Zealand. Anthony from your company picked us up at Manchester Airport and dropped us off a week later in London.

He was a very good and friendly driver who very quickly won the respect of our 4 staff and 30 students. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he made our stay more enjoyable. I am unlikely to be in England again with a group but if I was I would have no hesitation in using your company and requesting Anthony.

Nothing was to much trouble for the boys, they took our guests here there and everywhere.

We would like to do an official review for other customers, can you tell us how we can do that please.

The drivers were very helpful and great drivers. They arrived on time and made everything so easy for us. Last year we used another company and had a bit of a nightmare!

We don’t go on many trips but next time we will certainly be in touch. I also work at a school so I’ll make sure my colleagues know!

Just a short message to inform you of our complete satisfaction with our school bus driver Jason. He takes our Year 5 class to the swimming pool in Marple each Thursday at 9.05am. He is by far the most helpful and pleasant driver we have had in the years I have been taking the children swimming.

Jason always takes our pupil in his wheelchair to put him in position and strap him in his seat belt securely, checking carefully to ensure our pupil is safely positioned and comfortable. He keeps the bus beautifully presented and clearly takes a pride in his work.

Would you kindly pass on our gratitude and appreciation. He is an excellent ambassador for your company.

A big thank you to the drivers and yourself for a job well done with the football teams from Lillestrom SK. A very good price with the daily rate and all your drivers were very accommodating with the frequent changes in the schedule due to the weather and the coaches decisions. We will certainly call on you for future incoming tours in the future.

WELL DONE.

Hi,

On behalf of the club can I say thanks for all the arrangements that you put in place for us. All went very smoothly (even the crossings were flat calm which I was amazed at!).

Can I also say that Phil Littlehales was tremendous, professional, flexible and a great advertisement for your company. I will have no hesitation in recommending your company in the future.

Dear Sir,

I would just like to thank our driver Patrick for the wonderful service he provided to all our members on our recent trip to Meadowhall, even though some of our members asked about Tom.

Sylvia and Tony wish to thank Patrick for his assistance in locating them when they had got lost in the Shopping Centre. He was very courteous and professional. The journey was excellent and everyone enjoyed themselves.

We will be booking with you again in the New Year.

Hello,

We used one of your coaches for an outing to Skipton yesterday the 27th. Would you be kind enough to pass on our thanks to Lewis who drove us. He helped make the day a success.

Throughout the time we spent with his coach he was very pleasant, professional and most importantly a very smooth and confident driver who relaxed all the passengers.

We will most certainly be using Belle Vue Coaches again and would be very happy if Lewis was once again our driver.

Dear Adam,

Just want to send this message to you and your colleagues to say we felt like royalty going to London on our women’s conference. It is a yearly thing so we will be contacting you again to book for next year August. Your driver, think his name was Patrick, is a credit to the company.

We had elderly ladies and he’s was very supportive helping them on off the coach. Very, very pleasant there and back, please give him our thanks.

Dear Adam,

Just a quick note to thank you very much for the Vintage Double Decker you provided for my daughter’s Prom last night. All the arrangements went like clockwork.

A special mention should go to George the driver who was not only very patient with the girls as they had their dozens of pictures taken, but also joined in with the spirit of the occasion by encouraging lots of very loud singing!A great night was had by all.

Thanks again for all your help.

Dear Donna

On 10th June 2013 we used Belle Vue to take 82 students to Paris on a school trip for 5 days. We had 2 drivers per coach: Rik Tapper and Mike (coach 1) John Gilbody and Rob Gill (coach 2).

We cannot fault the service provided, professional, caring and very customer focused. The logistics of taking away 82 students can be at times daunting yet the drivers helped out when possible crossing roads etc, definitely going that extra mile. Students and staff bonded well with the lads and they were very much part of our trip!

I was on coach 2, I believe feedback has already been given for coach 1. Rob and John easily built up an excellent rapport with us straight away and it clearly shows they can adapt to suit different clientele. It also seemed equally important to them as it did to us that the trip would be a huge success and enjoyed by all concerned. It was!

Can you please express my thanks to your team. I would not hesitate in recommending your company again, your drivers are a credit to the company and will certainly use you again in the future whether that be school business or personal.

Hello,

My husband and myself hired one of your mini coaches from the 20th May until the 22nd of May. We had your driver named Les who made the trips very nice and interesting and we also felt very safe and confident with his driving. He also arrived on time.

We would also like to say a big thank you to your staff that help us with the reservation and payment they were very helpful polite and pleasant to deal with. Our Australian friends who were on the trip enjoyed the experience and have returned home with happy memories of the event.

Once again a big thank you to all concerned and we would be very happy to recommend your company and would use you again in the future.

Hello Adam,

Just wanted to drop you a note to say what a fantastic weekend we have had on our rugby tour to Edinburgh.

The coach was great and our driver, Louis was wonderful. He was courteous, punctual, drove us wherever we wanted to go, joined us for dinner in the evenings and always had the most fantastic smile on his face, whilst remaining professional.

So would like to give credit where it is due and say thank you to Louis for being part of our weekend. Will definitely use Belle Vue coaches again.

Hello,

I hired some coaches for an event on Tuesday March 26th (between Manchester & Gorton Monastery) and I just wanted to let you know how incredibly helpful the two drivers running the shuttle service between ten and midnight were.

Colin and Lewis were absolutely brilliant; I hadn’t fully thought through the logistics of transporting 250 people back in only two coaches when it was a minimum of a 30 minute round trip and they were so supportive in helping me organise how to do this. They really did go out of their way to help out and I just wanted to let you know.

I had ordered the coaches as part of a conference I was involved with at Manchester University. When we asked for a coach recommendation the office gave us the name of another company, but after Colin and Lewis’s exemplary service I contacted the Conference office to let them know what a good company Belle Vue was if they were asked for recommendations again.

If you could pass on my thanks to the drivers it would be much appreciated.

Hello,

A big thanks to the staff at Belle Vue following our recent trip to Llandudno (Sat 3rd Sept, from Levenshulme). Despite the drizzle, the Churches Together group had a good day out.

This was partly due to Phil, an excellent driver who gave a really smooth ride. He was very helpful, approachable & professional – which was most appreciated by the group as the trip organiser wasn’t able to come along on the day. The only negative comment was that there wasn’t much leg room.

We hope to use your services again for next year’s annual day out.

Hello,

I just wanted to say a big Thank You for an excellent service we received on our day out to Alton Towers on Sunday. The coach was immaculate and our driver for the day (Lewis) was extremely professional and helpful.

We’re all working on the Mamma Mia! International Tour at the Palace Theatre, so our one day off a week is special for us and Belle Vue helped to make this weeks an extra special one.

With a few more days off in Manchester I’m looking to organise some more days out, so will hopefully be in a position to hire some more transport from you in the near future.

Dear Belle Vue Manchester,

I would like to pass on my thanks to your driver Mike Harrison who drove on the recent Marple RUFC tour to Bristol.

Mike was a true professional during the weekend and represented your company very well, always presenting a clean coach and driving in a very safe manner. He made the travel arrangements easy and was great towards all the persons on the trip.

Please pass on my thanks to Mike.
