Congratulations to Grzegorz who was recently crowned 'Bus Driver of the Year' for Unilink & Bluestar and came third overall at our local competition in Salisbury🏆🚌

He competed against drivers from sister operators across the South and outperformed all but two competitors. This is an outstanding achievement!

He will now go on to represent Unilink & Bluestar in the national competition in Blackpool this September. Well done and good luck💙
