Blacon Buses

RE: Blacon Buses
Imarkeh hopefully I don't come across as brutal as others on the thread but it's a very tough industry to break. You would probably have stood a better chance 15-20 years ago but it's very tight now and sadly small independants are ceasing every week.
Having said that plenty of enthusiasts with a love of buses have and do set up and run their own business. Off the top of my head the guy who set up. Peoplesbus in Merseyside is an enthusiast - didn't his first venture in the 90's go belly up? Janes boddice the owner of Midland classic set up his business after a life long interest in Stevensons of uttoxeter and Martin Bott who set up South lancs travel was a huge enthusiast.

Have you worked in the industry at all? I would say try and get involved with a local company to you. Even if it's volunteering a couple of hours a week cleaning buses or shunting possibly just to try and grasp what's actually involved with running your own company. It might make you see things differently or it might make you want to do it more but experience is key. I love pies but I wouldn't just buy a bakery and assume I could start baking and selling myself
