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

located
in
Belfast,
offers

and
it
offers
tours
of
Belfast
City
and
the
Causeway
Coast
on
a
daily

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".
