“We have proudly served the community and travel industry for over 50 years and our new vehicles are proving to be a reliable addition to the Thomas of Rhondda fleet. I’d like to thank Oli for delivering such excellent customer service throughout, from arranging the competitive financial package to the efficient delivery of these superb Volvos MCV Evoras.”

Ian Thomas, Thomas of Rhondda Ltd

“We are delighted to add this Euro 6, 8.9m Enviro 200 to our fleet. It is the first time we have financed a vehicle through Mistral and Oli made the process very simple and easy”.

Don McIntosh, Tally Ho! Coaches Limited

“I would like to thank Mistral and their excellent team in partnership with ADL. They have delivered two brand new ADL E400s to our company on a very tight timescale, excellent service to match an excellent engineered vehicle. These ADL E400’s are being used to shuttle cruise ship passengers from the new deep water terminal facility on the Isle of Lewis to the centre of Stornoway the main town on the island. On the first day they moved over 600 passengers. Excellent product, excellent service, can’t thank you enough”.

Roddy Macdonald, Director, Lochs Motor Transport Ltd

“I’m very grateful to Oli and Freddie at Mistral for how quickly this deal was put together, it’s the first time I’ve worked with them and am really impressed at how professionally things were handled. The vehicles are exactly what we need and of a very high standard so all round, I’m delighted with this new relationship.”

Alistair Bayliss, Bayliss Executive Travel Ltd

“We are a new customer of Mistral’s and I would thoroughly recommend them and in particular, their salesman Graham Blades, who’s attention to detail was obvious and this made the finance and delivery process seamless. The product itself is ideal for our operation and we are certain that this is the start of a long business relationship.”

Callum Donald, P1 Airport Parking Ltd

“Thanks to the team at Mistral for supplying the latest editions to the Red Rose fleet. Our customers and drivers have received the new Volvo MCV Evoras very well. The new vehicles match Red Rose’s ethos of reliability and are well presented. Thanks again”.

Taj Khan, Red Rose Travel Ltd

“Having previously bought vehicles from The Bus Shop and knowing the standard of vehicle supply, we had no hesitation in returning once again. We now look forward to putting these latest vehicles into service as part of continued investment in the Select Bus Service fleet”.

Ben Brown, Select Bus Services Ltd

“In the last 12 months, we have developed an excellent working relationship with The Bus Shop, who have assisted us in delivering the first steps of our fleet strategy by facilitating significant improvements to the vehicles we operate and improving customer experience when travelling.

Andrew Biggs and his team have continued to offer first-class levels of customer care throughout this process and have taken a partnership approach to our relationship.

The Bus Shop has carefully understood our company’s needs, and the inspection and purchasing process has been seamless and efficient.

We look forward to continuing to work with the Bus Shop in the future”.
