🎉 A brilliant effort from Shane this week for Culture Day! 🎉

Anyone who’s been lucky enough to have Shane as their driver will know the pride he takes in his work and the experience he gives to every passenger. This week, he went the extra mile decorating his coach to celebrate Culture Day, and it looks fantastic!

Well done Shane - your effort hasn’t gone unnoticed, and the coach looks amazing. 👏👏
