Bus driver, Ian Greenfield, has won ‘Driver of the Year’ at Arriva’s annual Made a Difference Awards.
The award recognises a driver’s dedication and willingness to go the extra mile.
Ian, who operates the Oxon Park & Ride route, was nominated by passengers for his passion and commitment.
He says: “I really enjoy being a bus driver, I get to do two of the things that I love most; driving and meeting new people – it couldn’t be a more perfect job for me.”
Ian, who has worked for the company for 21 years, says: "I feel so honoured to have won the Driver of the Year Award and when they announced my name as the winner I was completely shell-shocked. I'm extremely humbled especially because there are so many great drivers at Arriva, and I would just like to thank all of my lovely passengers who have made this all happen, without them it wouldn't have been possible.”
Jamie Crowsley, Arriva Shropshire General Manager says: “We’re thrilled that our longstanding colleague Ian has been selected as the ‘Driver of the Year’. To have won the title ahead of so many other fantastic and talented Arriva bus drivers is an honour, and Ian should be very proud of this massive achievement.
Over his 21 years at the company, it has been a pleasure to see how patient, calm and friendly Ian is with his passengers, and he is a real asset to the company.”
