After securing gold in the New Horizons category at the 2018 UK Bus Awards with VecTive, Peter Nathanail, Co-Founder of Vectare, speaks to Madaline Dunn about how this small start-up has managed to become so successful in such a short space of time

Vectare was founded in 2016 by best friends Peter Nathanail and Dominic Kalantary while they were still studying at university. Their vision was simple: to change the way that school transport was planned, managed and delivered. They felt they had seen a gap in the market and believed a lot of school bus services were at the bottom of the pile in terms of quality. The pair subsequently created a package which combined new technology for booking systems, vehicle tracking and passenger registration, with a better focus on customer service for passengers bringing in data analysis for a more effective and reliable service.
