The routeONE Awards are the most sought-after accolades for the coach, bus and minibus sector.

This category recognises the industry member who, or the business which, has gone above and beyond in working to support, promote and advocate the sector through the difficult period since March 2020. It recognises efforts directed towards both their own business and the wider industry, and the results that such work has delivered.

Build Back Better Champion- Kevin Mayne

2021

Awarded by the UK Coach Awards

The Build Back Better Champion award is aimed at those senior figures who have put themselves out to promote the wider bus or coach sectors, over and above their own business. The award could be given to an individual or team of senior industry people. Junior managers, supervisors and staff at other levels may be appropriate for nomination as Unsung Heroes, where their contribution is more likely to be for the business they work for, rather than the industry in general.

Kevin Mayne is a winner picked out for his tireless campaigning for support for the coach industry, which helped achieve success with the Scottish government. He also made himself available to every UK operator to offer help and advice and has featured in many written press articles alongside appearances on TV and radio. In his local community he has provided a Covid-19 response vehicle for the NHS, and a coach to become a mobile food bank.
