These are: Marketing Campaign, Manager of the Year, Enriching the Customer Experience, Going for Growth and Top National Bus Driver. Transdev CEO Henri Rohard said:

"I’m proud of our people who ensure that, as always, our customers are at the heart of everything we do."Henri added:
“We look forward to introducing 54 new all-electric buses in orders worth £28.5 million by the end of next year.
