What our Customers think ……

The following is an extract taken from a recent article in the Bedford Bowls Club newsletter.

Then in August we had our traditional summer trip to Southend again and we took 65 members with us. This has become another firm fixture in the diary that we enjoy and for some members it’s the only opportunity that they get to spend the day by the seaside. Once again, this was a great day. Nothing beats wandering up and down the seafront and then fish and chips by the sea – and the weather was great.
We use Landmark Coaches for our trips and we must say that the coaches are always in great condition and the driver goes out of her way to accommodate us. we couldn’t ask for more.
Both trips were rounded off with the usual sing song on the way home, with some members entertaining our travelers with solo performances.

We are glad that we were able to provide an excellent service yet again.

Don’t forget for all of you coach, bus or mini bus requirements, we a just a phone call away on 01462 733764 or you can visit our website at www.landmarkhire.com

We received this lovely email at 1548 on the 9th August

Just a quick message to say thank you for all of your help. The wedding was a complete success with a fantastic driver Andrew. He was part of the wedding.

Everything went to plan plus more. It was a weekend to remember in every way possible and knowing that my main concern was transporting guests from the Holiday Inn at Stevenage to the Venue and return, I was positive it would go to plan, which it did.

Many thanks to Andrew, our driver for the day, on his polite, helpful attitude as it had been a long day, but he still greeted the wedding bus guests at the end of the wedding with a smile.

Your bus company has been recommended to the Holiday Inn for future coach/bus journeys, as I know they were looking for another coach company for their hotel needs as and when required. Your leaflet was left with the reception team.

Once again, many many thanks for all the numerous email threads and phone calls to make this wedding complete.

As you can imagine, we are all feeling a bit low after such a build up, but at least we can say the bride and groom had what they wished for on this special day of theirs.

Kind Regards
Jenny and Dominique WilliamsSN851163

Good Morning
Please would you pass on our thanks to David for our great day out to Wiseley on Saturday. He put my mind at rest by arriving early and was very helpful in dropping people off in the village on the way back. He also found the shopping someone had left in the luggage rack.

We thought the coach was very comfortable. We would certainly consider using your company again for any future outings.

ImageI just wanted to thank the whole Landmark Team, especially Andrew, our driver and Renata in the Office, for a fantastic trip to Snowdonia this year. As always, the Office Team are fantastic and make life so easy for me when booking – none of my questions even seem a bother. Andrew was great and always fully prepared for each day of the trip in terms of routes and safety/cleanliness of the Coach.

I have attached a picture of “Emma” (How nice that you have named a Coach after me!! – It must be all the bookings I make) on the beach at Criccieth in North Wales. Andrew even dusted down our boots before we go back on – What Service!!

Thanks again – always my preferred Transport Provider
