Stockport-based Belle Vue Manchester has been named ‘Large Coach Operator of the Year’ at the industry’s coveted Route One Awards.
The team from Belle Vue joined 900 guests at The Vox Resorts World in Birmingham for the Route One Awards that bring together industry leaders, innovators and rising stars.
The judging panel praised Belle Vue for being “On the front foot, imaginative and energised”, highlighting the operator’s impressive growth, dynamic approach and diverse workforce.
