\n Cotswolds-based operator Pulhams has brought in Peter Graybrook as its new area engineering manager, following recent network expansion, fleet growth, and investment in electric vehicle technology.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Graybrook brings decades of industry experience, including roles with Crosville, Midland Red, Arriva, and the Go-Ahead Group.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “I’m pleased to have joined a famous brand with ambition to grow its network and invest in its fleet and people to deliver an ever-improving service for passengers.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I have joined at a busy time for the company with the introduction of both new service buses and coaches into the fleet.\n<\/p>\n
\n “My focus initially has been on recruitment and continued vehicle compliance, while ensuring we have sufficient vehicles available to serve our customers.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Ensuring all vehicles are maintained not only for safety but reliability and comfort is an important part of my job.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We need to be comfortable that when a vehicle leaves the workshop it won’t let us or our customers down.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Graybrook began his career as an apprentice at Crosville Motor Services and went on to serve more than 30 years in engineering roles.\n<\/p>\n
\n He has also held senior positions at Go North West in Manchester and Go East Anglia.\n<\/p>\n
\n Pulhams has made a string of investments in recent months, including an \u00a38.17 million commitment to 15 new electric buses and upgrades to its Golden Valley depot in Staverton.\n<\/p>\n
\n Improvements to the depot include 16 charging points, a new fueling system, refurbished offices, and better driver rest areas.\n<\/p>\n
\n An additional \u00a31.5 million was spent last year on five executive coaches for tours, day trips, and private hire.\n<\/p>\n
\n Since Pulhams was acquired by the Go-Ahead Group in June 2023, more than 60 vehicles have been added to its fleet, bringing the total to more than 150.\n<\/p>\n
\n Over the same period, the company has taken on more than 60 new staff.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Graybrook said: “It’s a really exciting period of growth and modernisation at Pulhams, so a great time for me to join the business.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Significant investments are being made, with work too taking place at the Bourton-on-the-Water depot, where a bigger workshop is being created.\n<\/p>\n
\n “A lot of good things are happening and there are a lot of good people who really care about their jobs and the vehicles, and it still has the feel of a family owned business.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s a really nice part of the world too, and one I’m keen to explore further in the coming weeks and months.”\n<\/p>\n
