Coach and minibus provider Coach Broker, part of the Limo Broker family, is facing a promising future as they announce their new expansion plans. The young company has already outdone its own business forecasts and now bosses at Coach Broker have had to secure larger premises for the firm as their staff numbers increase.

As the company has continued to grow at an impressive rate, Coach Broker has been recruiting new employees almost constantly in order to keep up with the increasing level of work. After a £250,000 takeover deal which saw Coach Broker secure 60 highly optimised websites from a rival coach company this summer, business has been booming. The coach provider enjoys a high internet presence with many of its websites ranking at the top spot on all major search engines, this enables them to found easily by customers seeking coach hire which translates into a high number of bookings.

Another significant addition to Coach Broker’s portfolio is the development of a news site which features original new articles focused upon the transport industry. This has enabled the company to further enhance its profile on to the internet.   

Coach Broker offers coach and minibus hire services all over the UK. The company’s main headquarters is in Cardiff Bay, however given the recent recruitment scheme which has seen the workforce of Coach Broker almost double in just over a year, the firm has now taken over new offices in the same building at Mount Stuart Square to aid its expansion plans. As well as extra sales people, the coach operator has also recruited two web developers to join the in-house team who oversee the running of all the company’s online projects and range of websites.

The new offices will enable Coach Broker to move forward with ambitious business plans which will see the company push forward with its quest to become the biggest coach hire provider in the UK. For more information please visit www.coachbroker.co.uk
