Trentbarton, the ‘really good bus company’ have furthered their support and commitment to the local community with the creation and supply of the all-new home dugout at Mickleover Sports.

Resplendent in ‘Sports red’ and ‘Trentbarton pink’, the new leather dugout seats are sure to make an impact on every visitor to the Don Amott Arena.

Sports chairman, Don Amott, had the following to say:

Our friends at Trentbarton have really come through for us and it is an honour to be working alongside them. Their reputation in the bus industry is second to none, and we hope that this partnership may continue for as long as they have been serving the local community.

A little about Trentbarton…

It’s not all about the buses at trentbarton. We believe, like any good company should, that people are our most valuable asset. From those behind the scenes, to the drivers who interact with our customers every day, every single member of the trent barton team is working towards a common goal – to ensure that you get really good service.

Forget grumpy drivers – we believe that our drivers are the best in the business, and regularly scoop the best accolades available, including Top National Driver, at the UK Bus Awards. In addition to our drivers, team leaders and service managers, you’ll also find extra people dotted around trentbarton land to ensure you get a fantastic travel experience, from people regulating our buses to keep them on time to our valet crew keeping buses free from litter during the day.

As one of the biggest employers in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire trentbarton is proud to be a local company staffed by local people. We’re also independently owned, meaning that every decision we make is made by those with an interest in the well-being of the local community and the efficiency of the local transport system. Market research is central to everything we do, meaning that you, our customer, are firmly in the driving seat when it comes to deciding how your really good bus service is developed and run, and we carry out numerous surveys each year to stay informed of what you expect, want and need from us.

Still, we’re not content with simply being run by locals. trentbarton puts itself in the middle of the community, getting involved in local events and even organising our own trentbarton roadshows for everyone to enjoy! We’re also dedicated to supporting the charities that are important to trentbarton land customers, including hard working, local good causes such as the Help for Heroes, Lewis Mighty Fund and Rainbows Children’s Hospice. There’s nothing we won’t do to raise cash for a worthy cause, including dressing up as superheroes, battling it out in a team bus pull and even getting our pinnies on for a bake sale! Because, as brilliant as ours might be, there are sometimes more important things in life than buses.

Everybody at Mickleover Sports would like to thank the great people at Trentbarton for their commitment to this and their ongoing support to the community – it really is very much appreciated by all!
