We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Shaun Read to the Coach Tourism Association board, further enhancing Ashley & Newey in the place of the coach tourism community. This follows the CTA annual general meeting held in Llandudno on 22nd May 2023. Shaun will sit amongst other coach tourism industry leaders to contribute to and advocate on behalf of its members.
On one day 25 years ago an old friend, Ashley came round for a family barbeque. Talking about the young Ashley & Newey he nearly choked on his burger, I thought I better help this guy out and wacked him across the back.
The next day I made my first call to Bernie Miles at Galloway Travel and followed up with an appointment. He said I like what you are doing, its different, a complete package, as I call it Oven Ready.
My first visit to The Ivy Bush Royal Hotel in Camarthen, Wales was part of Bakers Dolphin Reunion weekend. I was there to enjoy a 2 course lunch to celebrate the last leg of the trip. I was greeted with a very warm welcome by the hotel staff and it was great to finally introduce myself and to put faces to names.
