Dawsongroup bus and coach Managing Director, Paul Sainthouse, is President of CILT in its centenary year and – with a little help from HRH The Princess Royal – gave the keynote speech and presented awards to the 83 businesses in attendance.

Paul said: “While it is undeniably a privilege to act as President in a milestone year for the Institute, the most important thing is that Dawsongroup is represented as a serious and credible player in the freight, passenger and logistics sectors, standing ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with the biggest transport brands.
