AN awards night celebrating the work of drivers, depot and office teams from Warrington's Own Buses has been held.

The evening, which took place at Eagle Sports Club in Great Sankey, celebrated some of the company's top performers over the past year, including depot employee of the year Terry Blanchard, bus driver of the year Stephen Fearns and office employee of the year Ste Stringer.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents sent certificates for all the drivers for driving safely with no accidents for the previous year and individual awards to other members of staff.

Cllr Cathy Mitchell, chair of Warrington's Own Buses, was on hand to present the winners with their awards.

Ben Wakerley, chief executive, said: “We have a tremendous team working for Warrington’s Own Buses and it’s great to be able to show them how much we appreciate all their hard work.

“The award-winners have all shown a truly positive attitude and a willingness to help out. Although these exemplary members of our team have really stood out – we have many others deserving of praise.”
