What a way to start 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣! Thrilled to see our Managing Director, Domenico Bondi, recognised in the Coach & Bus Week (Official) New Year Honours List.👇 CBW Publisher Jonathan Taylor writes: "First up is a CBW Honour for consistent industry enthusiasm. Whenever he speaks at an event, Domenico Bondi, MD of Volvo Bus UK & Ireland, is first of all thinking about the health of the industry, and in particular the health of operators, rather than listing the undoubted merits of Volvo products. It is refreshing and it is positive. "When people in various parts of the industry are working towards the same goal of delivering top quality products or services for the industry, everything gets better and Domenico’s attitude exemplifies that." Thank you to Jonathan and the team at CBW. 🙏
