A BUS provider which operates in East Renfrewshire has been shortlisted for four awards.
McGill’s Buses have been nominated for UK Bus Operator of the Year, the Exemplary Contribution to Net Zero award, the Best Bus Service award, and for their electric bus SWITCH service, for the UK National Transport Awards 2023.
The group has also been recognised for its FlixBus partnership, with its Glasgow – Dundee – Stirling – Perth – Aberdeen route in the Best Bus Service category.
The Scottish-based company is owned by billionaire businessmen Sandy and James Easdale.
Ralph Roberts, CEO of McGill’s, said: “Being shortlisted for not one, but four UK National Transport Awards is a remarkable achievement for McGill’s Buses.
“This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our team as well as the huge investment we have made in our new electric fleet as well as our innovative partnership with FlixBus on longer-distance routes.
“We are committed to providing a service that goes above and beyond, connecting communities and delivering a sustainable transport solution for all and we are pleased that these nominations highlight that effort.”
While chairman James Easdale added: “McGill’s Group has always been driven by a commitment to service excellence for our passengers and also to environmental sustainability.
“We continue to look for new opportunities to build the business so that we can be at the forefront of innovation in public transport, and we are delighted to be recognised at a UK level.”
The winners of the awards ceremony will be announced at an event in London on October 5.
