Coach transport service for multi site school Harris Academy
The Kings Ferry coach hire company has won a contract with the Harris Federation, an entity which governs Harris Academies across south east London.
The Harris Academy has various sites across south east London including Peckham, Bermondsey and Crystal Palace. Each school specialises in specific subjects including media, sport and business. The multi-site school is awaiting the completion of a purpose built one site school in September 2010.
The Harris Federation needed a reliable and quality coach hire service to transport children and staff to and from various academy sites. The job was put out to tender earlier this year and The Kings Ferry won the contract, which started in August 2009.
"This coach hire contract is great for us," explains Ian Fraser, operations director at The Kings Ferry. "It is wonderful that we were recognised by a school as a reliable coach hire company and chosen for this job."
The Kings Ferry will co-ordinate 10-14 coach transfers a day between the site being built and five of Harris Academy's existing sites every morning and afternoon during term time.
"The drivers enjoy doing this run," said Ian. "They get along really well with the children and staff they're transporting."
