**A message from the Operations Manager**:
“Hi I’m Antonio. I’m the Operations and Transport Manager. I joined this business 20 years ago as a driver. Since then I have worked in a wide variety of roles from driving, to sales, to service regulation, working my way up to the position I’m in now. At Tootbus we are more than just a bus company, we aim to give every customer memories of London & Windsor that they will never forget. To do this I am building a team of drivers and support staff who all take great joy and pride in their work. When recruiting I look for more than just a driver; I seek people with a passion for providing amazing customer experiences; people who are great team-players; and ideally, people who are looking for a career and who would like opportunities to grow with the company as I have. If this sounds like you, I look forward to meeting you soon.”
