Bury Market welcomes its 1,000th coach of the year

One thousand coaches have now visited Bury Market this year bringing visitors from all over theUKand abroad.

The 1,000th coach came from Dyserth nr Rhyl on the scenicNorth Walescoast. Dyserth is home to Voel Coach, a tour operator which frequently schedules coach trips to Bury Market.

The Mayor of Bury, Councillor Joan Grimshaw, presented Stephen Lloyd and Mrs Harriett Jones from Voel Coaches with a certificate commemorating this milestone.

Harriet said: “We visit Bury Market every month: our customers love it, they always come home with a bargain, and there’s a huge variety of goods on sale. The market is ideally situated and only minutes away from the motorway network. In addition, the free coach parking and the free driver lunch voucher make it an ideal place to visit from an operator’s point of view.”

Andrew Heyes, Bury Markets manager, said: “The support we have from coach companies is fantastic and we try to make their visit to us as pleasant an experience as possible. Voel Coaches have been big supporters of the market so this award is rightly deserved. We hope our association with them continues for many years to come.”
