Newspaper issue apology to coach hire company
Staffordshire Newspaper, Burton Mail, have issued a public apology to Solus Coaches Ltd after they wrongly named them as the company involved in an investigation following an accident. The incident in question occurred when a school boy fell from a moving coach during a school run.
We also covered the story here at Coach Broker News under the headline “Coach Hire Company investigated after teenager falls from moving coach.” However we would also like to extend out apology as it has now been established that Solus Coaches were not involved in the incident at all and are in no way under investigation.
In a public apology published by the Burton Mail they say, “We are happy to set the record straight and apologise to Solus Coaches for any confusion caused.” The newspaper has also gone a step further and is making a donation to St Giles Hospice, Wittington by request of the coach company.
So they should! This could ruin someone’s business within minutes. The media always jump the gun!
