On 29 October 2019, Llew Jones Coaches in North Wales will open its doors to the coach and bus industry as it hosts an auction comprising coaches, buses and minibuses, as well as a number of surplus parts and equipment.
The sale will take place as the company looks to renew its fleet after providing the official transport for the Welsh National Eisteddfod, which this year took place in Llew Jones’ hometown, Llanrwst.
Managing Director, Steve Jones, said: “The Eisteddfod was fantastic for the company as it was the largest single event undertaken by us. It went superbly, and it really emphasised what we can do.
I must also say a huge thanks to our team here at Llew Jones for their effort both before and during the event. Obviously, in preparation for the Eisteddfod we purchased, ran and maintained a lot more vehicles than usual so the auction is a great opportunity for us to move these vehicles on to new homes, which will allow us to have a more streamlined and sustainable workload going forward.”
Llew Jones received much public praise for the reliability and quality it provided throughout the Eisteddfod, particularly from Eisteddfod CEO Betsan Moses who said: “It is nothing short of a miracle the Eisteddfod has been held in Llanrwst in such difficult conditions; the shuttle bus system they drew up and implemented worked amazingly and we are extremely grateful to the company.”
The auction will be conducted by Malcolm Harrison Auctions from 1000hrs with a viewing on Monday 28 October between 0900 and 1600hrs. Visit www.malcolmharrison.co.uk for more details.
