David Squire, Yellow Buses’ Managing Director, explained: “As part of our mental health wellbeing plan which has developed over the last couple of months, we identified that having a healthier diet would be beneficial to our staff.

“We spoke to Faast and they were happy to help, supplying fruit boxes to both our depot and town centre canteen. They have been an instant hit with our staff.”

Added Simon Lovett from Faast: “We are absolutely delighted to be involved with such a great initiative from Yellow Buses, and it’s been so well received by all the brilliant staff.

“Our boxes are always totally fresh, and we include a huge array of different products so they always have a good variety to eat.

“Healthier living is something we totally support and we’d love to see other forward-thinking companies doing the same thing in looking after their staff in such a positive and proactive way.”
