RIAS, one of the largest employers on the south coast and a major provider of general insurance to the over 50s in the UK, is to partner on a long term basis with local coach operator Excelsior Coaches to provide dedicated staff transportation services.

Excelsior Coaches is providing RIAS with coaches for three separate routes, transporting over 250 RIAS staff to work in the morning and home in the evening.

RIAS is offering this service free of charge to all its employees and clearly demonstrate RIAS’s commitment to its staff, the environment and the local community.

Simon Robinson, Head of Communications at RIAS commented; “We are committed to making RIAS a great place to work for all our staff and providing free coaches to and from work for our staff is an important part of this. Not only do our staff get to work without the stress of driving and parking, but it’s also beneficial to the environment and reduces the number of vehicles on the roads of Poole and Bournemouth. Excelsior Coaches was a natural choice in selecting a partner to help fulfil this commitment and they have provided us with a quality service.”

Kathy Tilbury Sales and Marketing Manager at Excelsior Coaches says” This is an excellent example of a partnership between two major companies in Bournemouth, and all other companies employing a significant number of staff should consider seriously looking at offering this service to their employees. Ultimately it saves the environment, cuts down on traffic congestion and is a great incentive to offer staff… and every body wins!”
