A SWINDON bus driver celebrated after being named employee of the year.
Matthew Carey joined Swindon's Bus Company in January 2016 and won the honour for his dedication to the job and flexible nature. The bus company's managing director,Andrew Wickham presented Matthew with vouchers worth £500 and a framed certificate.
Andrew said: "Matthew is a true professional who places great emphasis on customer service. Two of his passengers had been late for a restaurant booking and had mentioned this to Matthew when boarding his bus. He made contact with our controller and asked permission to transport his two customers there in his own time on his way back to the depot, which was near to the restaurant. It meant the customers made it on time and they were very appreciative of his efforts. It is this type of attitude which sets Matthew apart, and I am delighted for him."
"Congratulations Matthew - I wish you a successful year ahead."
