As part of Stagecoach Oxfordshire’s Depot improvement plan, Robert Betterton, Stagecoach’s Fleet Engineer needed a local reputable firm to assist with the design and production of new signage for depots in Oxford, Banbury and Witney. As B4 members, Robert looked to the B4 community for support and found Carbon Colour and Managing Director, Nigel Allen.
Within days Nigel had visited Robert and provided a competitive quote to design, produce and install signage at the Oxford depot. Robert was so impressed with Carbon Colour’s service that he introduced Nigel to Clive Thomas who looks after the Banbury and Witney depots so that Nigel could provide a similar service for Clive. The result? A very happy customer in Stagecoach and another great partnership within the B4 community.
Check out the video to hear more about how Robert and Nigel worked together.
