OUR TEAM

"Yesterday your company took 90 children to Weston-Super-Mare from Broad Heath school. Firstly, can I say we had a wonderful day and that your drivers were fantastic. Chris, who was the driver on my coach, was great. He cared about the children and did everything he could to make our journey as pleasant as possible. So a massive thanks to them."

- Seb Carter, Broad Heath Primary School

"Nigel was really helpful in planning the trip to meet our tour needs. Usually we book you for our trips from School to a destination and return. This time it was to include the Beatles tour of Liverpool. This action helped keep the cost of the trip down and from a safety point of view meant the students didn’t need to change coaches and we also ‘knew’ the coach company.

Mark (our driver) arrived early with a spotlessly clean coach. He was friendly, helpful, funny and very good with the students. He drove around the Beatles tour (Strawberry Fields, John Lennon and Paul McCartney homes) and dropped us off at our destination and if we had more time there were other parts to see. He picked us up from the Cavern Club which is not the easiest of destinations to get to (neither was Paul McCartney’s home!)

All round a very successful day and enjoyable trip THANK YOU!"

- Georgina, Heart of England School

"Hi Becca, just to say that we had a wonderful weekend, due partly to the weather, but also due to our driver.

Darren was very happy to fit in with us, we had a couple of ‘tweaks’ to the itinerary, and he coped magnificently. He was also where he said he would be when he said he would be.

People also commented favourably about the coach. it was great having space to spread out, as well.

Maybe a trip to Kent next year!"

- Local Gardening group

"Thank you for your services yesterday when you transported us to Young Voices.

Our teacher was very pleased with how quickly they managed to meet the coach driver and set off on the journey home. This particular trip is always a little stressful for our staff as it finishes late at night and involves so many children from so many schools.

Thank you for helping to make it as stress free as possible."

- Nikki, Charter Primary School

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for a fantastic day out, everything was great from start to finish.

You will be the first company I ring for future trips out.

Thanks again"

- Sean

"We used Ridley’s coaches for the first time yesterday to go from Baddesley Clinton to Chirk Castle. We usually use another local company, but thought we would try a new company this time. The coach was lovely and excellent value for money. Our driver was also great and extremely helpful and friendly. We would definitely book with Ridley’s again for all our volunteer trips in the future."

- Dean & Lisa, National Trust 

"Many thanks to Ridleys Coaches for providing a successful trip to Gloucester.

I would be grateful if you could pass on our thanks to your driver as he did go that extra mile to make sure we were outside the Gloucester Quay shopping Centre making for a great day out for all."

- Local School

"Would just like to say a massive thanks to your coach company and drivers who we had on Sunday. Your drivers were a credit to your company, polite, helpful and nothing was a problem. I would definitely use you again and recommend you.

Thanks for helping the day very special. Cheers Mark!"

- Mark Edwards

"I just wanted to say thank you so much to you for your services on 14 June. The arrangements were perfect and your driver was a great guy and incredibly thoughtful and helpful. I very much hope we can use your services again. With best wishes."

"Our visit to Stoke on Trent went off very well and Paul the Driver was very good, members were remarking on his smooth driving and his pleasant and helpful manner."

- Roy Drayton

“Just a note to say THANK YOU for all your help and advice regarding booking the coach / arranging pick-ups and drop offs / answering my endless queries etc for our trip to Birmingham dog track last night.

We had a great time, helped by door to door service!

Please say thank you to the driver too for being so obliging.

I would definitely use your service again and would recommend you too.”

- Lisa Davies

"I just wanted to let you know that the teachers provided fantastic feedback from their journey with you on Friday. They said that the coach was lovely and clean, that the driver was very pleasant and helpful, and that the whole journey was very comfortable (which is an achievement taking 57 year 2 children on a long journey!). Please can you pass this info onto the relevant people"

- Sarah

"Just like to say thanks for the coach, we had such an amazing time. and Wayne our driver was a really nice guy. we all had a good time from the time we set off to coming back.

Keep up with the good work."

- Shaz

"Following a trip that our year 4 children when on yesterday to the Sea Life Centre, I had several comments from staff on their return on how lovely the coach driver was. I believe her name was Grazi, they commented that she was very friendly , assisted with a child who used a walking aid, gave the teachers good advice as the best way to walk from the drop off point to the Sea Life Centre and greeted the children on their return to the coach asking if they had had a good day."

- Debbie Blyth, St Christophers Primary School

"Just a quick not to say thanks for sorting and from first contact with you down to the driver (who was the best we have had in the 5 years we have ran these trips) it was a first class service.

Thanks for everything."

- Stuart Fraser

"To whom it concerns,

I am emailing to say how impressed I was with the service provided yesterday on our visit to the UCAS Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham.

The driver (Graziella) was very professional, helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. She delivered us to and from the venue safely and smoothly in a relaxed manner. This enabled staff and students enjoy their visit as all was calm and stress free.

I will be using your services again and will be passing on my positive experience to other members of staff in the school and am sure that they to in turn will be calling on your services in the near future."

- Mrs Lisa Till, Aylesford School
