I was shown an advert in the Airport witch had a Sprinter Van on it

By looking at it they have a lot of minibuses but also have a few coaches too.

Tickets are cheap as well, pound single to Manchester, 2 quid to Chester,Wrexham and Shrewsbury

Service 56: The running times are totally unrealistic. Chorlton Street to University Precinct, 5 minutes, and then just 20 minutes to/from the Airport, with no peak running time variation.
I wonder if the vehicles could finish up running a Telford-Manchester Airport, then go on to the Manchester shuttles then do a Manchester Airport-Telford, in which case poor punctuality on one service would affect the other.

Is there actually a link between this operation and Easyjet?

Not really. One is owned by Easy Group, the other was owned by Easy Group and licences the brand name.

I work at Shrewsbury Business Park and the office they have is a small part the building which has many other with 'To Let' signs after the previous company moved to another building, I took a nose last week as a matter of interest. Parking is at a premium also so they would not keep vehicles onsite if at all.
I've been told his connection is on a 'freelance' basis and that it's in an advisory type role - Presumsbly it's doomed from the start

i think there is some sort of connection as theres pics online where stelios (easy jet director) is advertising it and promoting the easybus brand.

Easy group is owned by Stelios. EASY group owns EasyBus and EasyJet so they are both owned by the same group.
