Establishment: Welcome to Glasgow Coach Drivers Limited, Scotland's platinum coach driver agency dedicated to the passenger carrying industry. The brain child of Mr Danny McSorley & Mr Colin McNeill was born following a forced redundancy back in 2011 when Danny was laid off for the winter period & Colin Was laid off in 2012; a time of year when many companies release drivers to ease their financial burdens over the industrys quietest period. I was fed up of being laid off in the winter months and had started to look at incoming traffic via the holiday industry. I began as a driver with Glasgow City Corparation, based in Glasgow and asked, if I could start an agency, would they use it? The response was positive and Glasgow Coach Drivers was born. With many years of experience as a driver, Danny knew firsthand the pitfalls of freelancing and industrys views of freelance drivers; with this in mind he set upon his crusade to change the views of an entire industry to the freelance driver. His journey quickly joined the road to success with registered drivers topping the 50 barrier in 2013. His business plan is working, in fact, not only are Glasgow Coach Drivers. The largest specialists in coach drivers in Scotland today. WHY JOIN THE TEAM? Glasgow Coach Drivers strives to bring good quality drivers and operators together.
