The silver, black and blue buses of award-winning Prentice of Haddington have been a familiar sight throughout East Lothian for 30 years. Managing Director Ross Prentice explains to Richard Walter how the company has earned great customer loyalty through its investment in modern vehicles and by providing a network of routes that meet the requirements of the local community
Ross Prentice started as an apprentice mechanic with Scottish Bus Group (SBG) company Eastern Scottish in the mid-Eighties, eventually working in Musselburgh Depot. He explained: “My father, Don, started driving buses with Ian Glass in Haddington just after he was born and by 1982 had become Manager. Ian sold his business to Lowland Scottish in early 1991.

I joined in April 1992 after we gained a school contract and added a second coach.”
