Organising a staff outing by coach
When you travel to a staff outing by coach, the day starts as soon as everyone gets on. Nobody has to drive or park and everyone arrives at the same time. These tips will help the day run smoothly.
Start with the programme
First decide on the destination and the programme: a guided tour, an activity, a lunch or dinner, perhaps several venues in one day. Based on that plan, we work out how long the coach will be driving for you and when the journeys need to take place.
Choose the right coach
Count all participants, including the organisers. Our coaches have room for 30 to 90 people; for larger companies, we deploy several coaches at the same time.
Boarding at your premises
Usually everyone boards at the company itself. If your staff work at several sites, the coach can stop at more than one place.
Comfort on the way
A longer journey need not be wasted time. Our larger coaches have a toilet and an onboard kitchen, so the journey itself becomes part of the outing.
Arrangements for the journey home
Agree a departure time for the return journey in advance and let everyone know where the coach will be. If anyone wants to leave earlier, they should arrange their own transport beforehand.
