SUPPORTING THE NHS AND HOPING TO SEE YOU SOON!

Hello everyone. We've unveiled our new roadside banner this week - to show our support for the great work that the NHS staff are doing. So from all of us at Johnsons - a big thank you to everyone working on the front line, whether in hospitals, surgeries or in care homes - well done! 

BUS DRIVERS ARE DELIVERING GREAT SERVICE!

To bring you up to date, since our last report two weeks ago things have been pretty quiet. Our bus drivers are still doing a great job of providing daily services, especially for key workers in Warwickshire. They report how quiet the roads are, with none of the usual congestion issues, so they have to be careful not to run early!

COACHES ARE QUIET, BUT IT COULD BE WORSE!

On the coach side of our business, it is very quiet! As we leave April and commence May, we are very mindful that in normal circumstances we'd have completed a busy Easter period, for coach hire, holidays and excursions, and would be making arrangements for our busiest part of the year... May, June and July! Ah well - (sigh!)... and so i'll quote what is now my often used phrase - 'Could be worse!'. And looking on the bright side; our new 2020/21 Autumn, Winter & Spring Holidays and Excursions brochures are almost ready for printing. We'll be sending these out to all of our customers - as soon as we can, as soon as the time is right! And there will be great trips and great discounts on offer too!

WE ARE VERY MUCH OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

And don't forget, we're very much open for business here, via email and also, most importantly by phone too! So - when you'd like to book a holiday - to have something to look forward to, just call Kyran here on 01564 797000! We'd love to hear from you... and i'm pleased to announce in the hope of you booking NOW, for later this summer, we are offering a 5% discount on all new holiday bookings and for transfers from holidays that we've had to canel - for departures from 1st September onwards. This will save you £30 per person on a £600 holiday and all we need from you right now to secure your booking is a £75 deposit (for UK and Continental holidays by coach). So call Kyran today and look forward to your next holiday with Johnsons, we can't wait to hear from you! For all you group organisers and conference organisers, Gary, our Coach Hire Manager is here on 01564 797010 and is eager to take your call! 

WE ARE EAGERLY WATCHING FOR GOOD NEWS! 

Finally, we're checking the Government website and news updates daily - watching and waiting for a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel, about when we can welcome you back and commence our holiday and coach hire services again. And of course, we are making plans for how we can operate once the country starts to emerge from this terrible and unprecedented crisis. In the meantime, from all of us here at Johnsons, please be careful, stay healthy and stay positive. And as our banner says, 'Support the NHS - Stay Home - and look forward to travelling with Johnsons again soon!'

Best wishes, John & Pete Johnson.

Directors.
