SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS WIN MEANS
SCOUTS GO EUROJAMMING WITH JOHNSONS

Up to 20,000 scouts and support staff from throughout Europe will be gathering in the UK for the EuroJam 2005 in August – and the Warwickshire coach firm, Johnsons, has been chosen to transport them.

EuroJam is the European Scou t Jamboree and takes place between July 29 and August 10 at Hylands Park, Chelmsford in Essex. 20 of Johnson’s 49-seater coaches will be on hand throughout the two-week event, together with a dedicated coach manager who will be based on site throughout.

Johnsons is one of five UK-based operators appointed to transport the Scouts to and from the central collection point and the Jamboree site. The company will also be organising coach tours to places of interest around the south of England for the European visitors - as well as taking parents and friends to ‘open days’ at the Jamboree.

“EuroJam is major logistical operation and we are delighted to have been appointed – particularly as during the selection process, the Scout Association carried out exhaustive research to find the best coach operators for the this very special job,” explains John Johnson, Director of Johnsons Coaches.

Simon Carter, of the Scouts Association, adds: “We chose Johnsons because they impressed us with their commitment to high standards of quality and service. They are used to working with young people and have an excellent reputation.

“The fact that they are members of Coach Marque and the Guild of British Coach operators also helped us to come to a final decision as both these organisations demand the highest level of service and operational efficiency.”
