2020 was a milestone for Bysiau Cwm Taf Valley Coaches Ltd, as we have been operating for 30 years. We broadened our horizons and opened a new depot in Pembroke Dock. This depot enables customers’ to book and pay for private hire, day tours and holidays. There is also the facility for customers to park their cars safely whilst going on our Taf Valley trips.
As a leading coach hire provider for West Wales, we are constantly striving to bring our customers the very best products and services the industry has to offer. For this reason all of our coaches & buses are cleaned and prepared to the highest standard. The vehicles are washed every day, and a large cleaning bay is provided to carry this out. We utilise an eco-friendly water recycling system as much as possible, which makes use of rain water harvested from the workshop roof.
From its small beginnings, our family business has grown from one single Duple Dominant 51 seater, to its now 40 strong fleet of vehicles. We now employ over 45 members of staff ranging from garage fitters, drivers and office staff. We have 24 school/college contracts, and run 6 service routes (which require 8 buses), throughout Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. The private hire work has increased enormously and the holiday program is ever growing, and we now provide around 50 holidays per year. Coming up to date, we think we are where we want to be in size of business – big enough to cope and small enough to care.
All of our vehicles are driven by qualified, uniformed drivers. We ensure that all of our drivers have annual CPC training and hold the now mandatory CPC qualification. The CPC qualification is nationally recognised, and we make sure that our drivers cover both First Aid and The Educational Safeguard of Children. The Driver's CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) is a government implemented qualification, in addition to their vocational driving licence. It is designed to continue a PCV License holder’s professional development which carries on throughout a professional bus, coach or lorry driver's career.
The aims of Driver CPC:
- Improve the knowledge and skills of lorry, bus and coach drivers before they start driving professionally
- Develop their knowledge and skills throughout their working life
- Improve road safety through better qualified drivers
Such areas as, contributing to health and safety in your work environment, helping passengers with special needs and providing professional customer care, are all included.
