Schools R Us is the moto of the three generations now heading the Prospect team. Geoff Watts the founder is still at the helm of the company together with his daughter Roslynd the joint managing director and grandsons Nathan and Martin transport manager and fleet engineer respectively . The vehicles of today’s fleet are both modern and comfortable, with some having the added capacity for up to 70 passengers. Having invested over £3 million pounds in the last 4 years the company continues to strengthen its customer base with almost 200 schools using its services.

Prospect’s entire fleet consists of smart modern coaches dedicated to provide a high class of transport to its many schools colleges clubs and corporate clients. When asked why so much investment has been made to transport predominately school children Roslynd has always insisted that the children of today are the potential clients of tomorrow and firmly believes that if the children are transported in clean modern vehicles they are more likely to respect both the coach and the drivers.

The drivers are all smartly dressed in corporate uniforms which carry the distinctive logo of the Prospector man and all are enhanced CRB checked and Child Protection level one qualified. In addition many of the 38 employees hold NVQ’s some up to level 5 in addition to First Aid training and other professional qualifications.
