The director of a coach company which has family at the heart of the business is ‘chuffed’ to win a prestigious award.
Cozy Travel, which operates from Letchworth, won the Premier Operator gong at the 2015 Showbus Awards.
The company was set up in 1984 as a one-man taxi hire business by Norman Powell, and over the years has grown into an all singing and dancing family-run coach company.
Sons Greg and Brad are joint directors, and daughter Natasha works on the desk alongside auntie Dawn.
Greg said: “We are chuffed – we’ve won the award five times now.
“I think the fact that we are a family-run business makes a difference, because people feel they can trust us.
“There is more passion and pride there because we are a family unit.”
The company is used to awards coming its way having won the Best Local Operator in 2010 and 2012, and the Premier Operator gong in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
As well as providing home to school support for Herts County Council, the company is the main shirt sponsor for Arlesey Town FC.
