A helicopter hire brokerage system is the latest service to be launched by the growing Transport Broker Group. The news website (http://www.helicopterhire.net/) will join the company’s impressive portfolio of services which includes a specialised wedding car hire website, plus a coach hire and limo hire broker system.

The new venture will offer helicopter hire services all over the UK and will allow customers to compare a range of companies and their rates before making a decision. The same sophisticated brokerage system which is used successfully in the other businesses run by the Transport Broker Group will be adopted for use in helicopterhire.net.

Within the space of several years, the Transport Broker Group has successfully launched a number of high achieving companies. One of their biggest success stories is Limo Broker which is now one of the UK’s leading providers of chauffeur driven limo hire. Coach Broker is following in its footsteps and is growing month on month with expansion plans taking its hire service to new parts of the UK and Ireland.

The Transport Broker Group’s most recent project is a wedding car hire website which provides luxury chauffeur driven wedding vehicles for hire at an affordable rate across the country. With their expertise in the transport industry, this venture is really taking off and is looking forward to a busy wedding season in 2010.

With the introduction of the helicopter hire website, the company is adding yet another valuable string to its bow. The launch of the new service means the group is well on its way to achieving a complete transport hire service covering the widest range of vehicles possible.

moon” to collect the award.
Ralph Roberts, director and general manager for Arriva Scotland West, said: “It’s great news that the hard work and dedication behind our Glasgowflyer has been recognised as being the best bus service in Scotland. A major factor of its success is the people behind the scenes who ensure the service is tip top day-in-day out.
“I’m very proud of Jimmy who’s an extremely popular member of the team at Arriva Scotland West and with our customers in Erskine and Glasgow. They rely on him to ensure their bus is on time and gets them where they
need to be, which he does admirably. He’s a real credit to the company.”
Jimmy said: “I was so happy to hear that I had been nominated for the award, but to actually win is the icing on the cake. It’s nice to be recognised for doing a job that I enjoy so much.”
