Pelican supports the Back Britain's Coaches campaign from the CPT
Covid- 19 has very rapidly caused severe financial difficulties for coach operators, putting the long term viability of the sector at risk. Without access to the financial support available to the rest of the leisure and tourism sector, it will be nigh on impossible for many coach operators to continue trading and to resume services once ‘business as usual’ resumes.
Once the COVID19 outbreak is over we will all need to work together to repair the damage done to our local economies. If we want to bring tourists back into our local areas, get people back in our theatres, shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, reinstate educational trips and help those who have been forced to spend a considerable length of time in isolation get back out and about, not to mention get people back to school and work, it is vital that coach businesses have the financial support to withstand the current crisis.
As a family business with over 100 years in business, Pelican shares the same business and cultural ethos of many coach companies. In these trying times, the industry must support each other. Please write to your local MP's, local authorities and back this important industry. More details can be found on the CPT News Release: We need you to back Britain’s coaches says CPT
