We were proud to take part in Pride celebrations across the UK this summer! From Essex to Glasgow, our teams came together to show support for the LGBTQIA+ community, because Moving the Everyday means helping everyone feel welcome, respected, and able to be their true selves wherever their journey takes them.

Proud to Support Pride 2025 🌈

Our teams volunteered, decorated depots, and joined local parades to celebrate inclusion and diversity. We’re committed to continuing that spirit every day, ensuring our buses and workplaces are welcoming spaces for everyone.

“Diversity is a strength. Taking part in events like Pride shows that everyone is welcome, as a customer or colleague.”
