We have one simple mission, and it\u2019s to champion bus by recognising, rewarding<\/strong> and inspiring<\/strong> all those remarkable people that work within it.<\/p>\n

Over more than 25 years, we\u2019ve recognised over 500 top award winners, and some 14,500 people have joined us at our ceremony events.<\/p>\n

As a team we\u2019re committed to promoting innovation, inclusion and diversity, always priding ourselves on our integrity and transparency with a highly-respected judging process.<\/p>\n

Our chairman, Alan Millar, was editor of Buses magazine for 22 years before becoming consultant editor in 2021. He joined as our chairman in 2022 and is dedicated to delivering a first -class scheme, which benefits the whole industry by motivating and inspiring the talent within it.<\/p>\n

The scheme is operated and financed by an independent not-for-dividend company, The Bus Industry Awards Ltd, a subsidiary of Transport Events Group, whose chairman is well-known bus industry figure, Giles Fearnley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
