The Young Bus Managers Network has announced that both Stagecoach Group Chief Executive Martin Griffiths and Arriva Group Chief Executive David Martin will be keynote speakers at the next Young Bus Managers Conference, which will be held in Newcastle on November 4-5 at The County Hotel in the city centre.

Online bookings are now open, including a discounted early bird rate for those amongst the first to confirm their attendance.

The full line-up is expected to be announced shortly, but Martin Griffiths has been confirmed as the evening speaker, while David Martin will provide his keynote address during the day conference. Go North East Managing Director Kevin Carr will also talk about his life on the buses and the workings of the operator.

Committee member Alex Hornby said: “We are very fortunate that we have been able to announce another top billing of speakers to come and inspire those in the Young Bus Managers Network.

“A huge thank you goes out to Martin, David and Kevin for taking time out of their busy schedule to come and talk to us. We are looking forward to what should be another well attended YBMN event in the buzzing surroundings of the great city of Newcastle.”
