Arrow Coach Travel has been awarded the prize of Small to Mediumsized Business of the Year at the Brighouse Echo Business Awards.

Judges were looking for sound financial performance and an understanding of the importance of social responsibility to the surrounding community.

After being highly commended runners up in 2011, managing director Richard Jessop was pleased with this years result. He told CBW: “We are delighted we won the award. We are very proud and we feel we have gone from strength to strength.”

Richard believes the award has helped raise the company profile in the area. He added: “I believe in the time we have held the award we have seen extra enquiries from local groups so it has created an awareness.

“We constantly try to exceed our customers’ expectations by delivering a cost effective, quality service from the minute they contact the office to the end of their special day.”

The judges were impressed with the way the firm has made progress over the past 12 months, building on its early success.

Arrow Coach Travel was set up by Richard and Julie Jessop in 2008.
