2 weeks ago we organised a Chatty Bus event on route 471 on World Mental Health Day! 1 in 3 people admit to getting buses for social interaction, so what better way to address loneliness than a chat on your journey! Thank you to Rochdale and District Mind for helping us make this happen. For more information of how it went, please see the Rochdale News Article: https://lnkd.in/eH8hdMyB

Last week, five of our colleagues pulled a 10,800kg bus for the Greater Manchester Mayor's Charity! Our team raised £850 for the charity, with the event as a whole raising just shy of £28,000. This charity is dedicated on addressing homelessness within Greater Manchester. After donating a bus for the charity to use in their 2023 Bus Pull, we were delighted when we got the opportunity to sponsor the event and a team to get involved this year. We can't wait to get more involved with this charity and the battle against homelessness as the months go on!

We are thrilled to announce that we've secured the Gold Award in the 2024 UK Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. We proudly support those who serve and their families. #GoldERS2024 | Defence Relationship Management (DRM)

We're delighted to be Members of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter - this short case study video explores what #GoodEmployment means to us and the positive impact it has on our colleagues.

We’ve joined the Living Wage Foundation, guaranteeing, as a minimum, the only UK wage rate based on the actual cost of living. It’s entirely voluntary, but offers a higher, more realistic rate than the National Living Wage. Here’s some of the fab team marking the occasion. We’re keeping it ‘real’!

🚍 Schumacher switches to the bus lane 🚍 Congratulations to Stelian Schumacher who is our one hundredth Bus Driver Apprentice!   Our ambitious programme launched back in October takes our recruits beyond the usual qualifications, so they’re ready to deliver an exceptional passenger experience across the Bee Network. Stelian studied criminology at university and worked as a police constable before joining us at Go North West. Welcome Stelian, we wish you all the best in your new career!   And although he shares the same name as the superstar Schumacher family, he insists he has no thirst for speed and will, of course, stick to all the applicable speed limits!
