Roland Eglinton, Chair of CoachMarque and Managing Director of Chalkwell Coach Hire in Kent said: “I cannot wait to catch up with our members and suppliers face to face. We have worked hard through the various lockdowns and restrictions to remain in touch with members, suppliers, and stakeholders so we can continue to support the coach industry. Now as we enter the spring of 2022, I want to bring a new energy to CoachMarque, to look at member engagement, supporting with new communication tools and technology so we can make CoachMarque membership great value for operators. We are back out at shows across the country, with our first at The Excursion Show on the 17 March where we will be pushing all the benefits of using CoachMarque members.
“This conference will give us an opportunity to not only give back to members but also hear from them about what more we can do for their business. We have a renewed focus on business development for CoachMarque and working with our CPT partners, we are ready for the road ahead.”
