Current MD will remain with the company for a minimum of two years
National Express has announced it completed the purchase of Stewarts Coach Group on 13 September.
With bases in both Reading and Leicester, the award-winning Stewarts Coaches has been around since 1986 and is part of the Guild of British Coach Operators.
The firm offers a range of services, including corporate travel, private hire, day trips and tours – the latter of which are run from its Leicester-based Woods Tours business, which Stewarts purchased in 2014.
Commenting on the purchase, Tom Stables, National Express Managing Director UK and Germany, said: “It is a fantastic company with an excellent record of delivering high quality services and is a welcome addition to our business.
“The acquisition helps us strengthen our position in the important corporate travel market, building on the success of The Kings Ferry and Clarkes of London in this area.
“We look forward to maximising the opportunities that this addition to our business offers.”
Managing Director of Stewarts, Andy Cotton, will be staying with the business for at least two years to help drive new business growth opportunities.
