My favourite Stagecoach moment from 2019…Obviously there was the move to the new Woking office which to me felt like it was refreshing for everybody and getting to meet all the new faces from the extended Trafalgar family. Our annual conference is always a key event in the Stagecoach calendar and so enjoyable to connect and share the exciting business updates with so many franchisees in one place. On a personal level being asked to go and fly the Stagecoach flag as a speaker at Scottish Franchise Week was a massive highlight!

My favorite moment of this year was accompanying over 600 students down Main Street in Disneyland Paris whilst they ‘Danced their Dream’ in front of thousands of cheering guests. It is always an amazingly special event but this year was truly remarkable as it was the largest group of students we have ever taken and they were a wonderfully, smiley talented bunch. What a job I have!

My highlights are always when I see the Stagecoach students perform and we have had sooooooo many GREAT performances this year ….Creative Courage really shines through when children take to the stage on mass, performing in front of 60,000 at The London Millennium Stadium raised the roof on a key Rugby match in March, Disney Dance the Dream is always special with over 600 kids leading out the parade and singing in front of the castle …it’s MAGIC !! ….The Hills of Surrey were truly alive this summer with The Sound of Music with some very special choral moments and then finally the Annual Charity Gala was a wonderful way to kick off the Festive Season and celebrate all the fantastic Stagecoach talent we have in all its glorious forms with our Creative Courage Awards Ceremony ….phew …and here it all comes again next year!

Personally, the highlight of 2019 has been reshaping how we use the content across all of our communication channels. We have brought the social media management in-house, updated all the content templates we provide to our franchise network such as emails, press releases, advertorials and guides. We now have regular blog posts on the website and we generate more content for Stagecoach then ever before. Middle of this year, we have also launched the franchise recruitment website, and recently added a blog category to share franchisee stories, industry-related content. We are now updating the Marketing Information Portal (MiP) to provide a user-friendly pit stop for all marketing content needed by our network.
