Minicoach Travel chooses ESKER DIVO GT from HISPANO Once again! (29/03/2007)

Minicoach Travel, Irish transport operator, has added yet another ESKER DIVO GT to their fleet, now operating 3 ESKER DIVOS in total throughout Ireland. The Belfast based travel operator took ownership of their first ESKER DIVO GT in April 2006, quickly joined by a second in May 2006 & this most recent addition to the fleet re-inforces the company's satisfaction & approval of the Hispano / Esker collaboration.

Rodney Mc Comb, general manager and owner of Minicoach was quick to explain the reason behind the new addition, "Hispano has a fantastic reputation as the leading bodybuilders in Europe & the partnership with Esker was something that really excited us. Esker have supplied & maintained our entire fleet of 10 coaches to date & we had no hesitation in considering the ESKER DIVO GT as a new addition. The first 2 ESKER DIVO GT coaches were impressive - both vehicles of 12m body on a DAF chassis have been excellent for covering our business expectations & I am positive the acquisition of our 3rd coach, 12.8 body, will continue to provide the quality & excellence we have become accustomed to with the ESKER DIVO GT".

Mini-Coach Travel, located in Belfast, offers shuttle services, corporate transport, conference transfers, airport pick-ups and drop-offs, sporting events, school transfers and it offers tours of Belfast City and the Causeway Coast on a daily basis. The fleet of various sized coaches can be seen out and about around the UK and Ireland. Coaches range in size from 16 seats right up to 53 seats, all of which offer the highest standards of comfort and luxury.

Rodney was one of the visitors to Hispano on the 20th of March along with a numerous group of transport operators and representatives from the Confederations of Transport from Scotland & UK Coach Operators which visited the Spanish manufacturing plant accompanied by Esker. He added "The visit to Hispano has been a great experience for us. The opportunity to see first hand the bodybuilding operation is something that strengthens the Hispano reputation in my mind. It has also been great to see the ongoing relationship between Esker & Hispano & know that there is a very solid partnership here that will continue pushing market boundaries- this keeps me at ease".
