About this business
A Plymouth coach and bus operator running private hire, tours, school services and rail replacement work across Devon and Cornwall. The freehold depot, with workshop space, is part of the sale, and the business employs 30 people, including drivers, mechanics and office staff. Turnover has risen since 2023 from £1.26m to £1.35m, and EBITDA from £68k to £98k, though the margin is still below a tenth of sales. The depot, the coaches and the in-house maintenance that keeps them running all pass to the buyer.
