Xplore Dundee on Transport Awards shortlist

XPLORE Dundee has received three nominations at this year’s Scottish Transport Awards.

Each of the nominations is for the Frontline Employee of the Year Award, with drivers Kary-Ann McGregor and Mohammad Ramzan shortlisted alongside network support officer Kian Greene.

McGill’s Group, the parent company of Xplore Dundee, received nine nominations including the Public Transport Operator of the Year award.

The Scottish Transport Awards aims to bring the transport community together to recognise and celebrate industry achievements across Scotland.

Supported by the Scottish Government, Transport Scotland, Network Rail, The Railway Industry Association and CPT Scotland, the awards will take place at the Glasgow Marriott Hotel in Glasgow on June 20.

Alex Hornby, group managing director of McGill’s Group, said: “The nine nominations for McGill’s Bus Group across six categories at the Scottish Transport Awards highlight the outstanding work that our team and our company are delivering for passengers across the country.

“We remain highly motivated to do our best for customers and communities and will not rest on our laurels despite the challenges around us.

“To be shortlisted again for Public Transport Operator of the Year – an award we won in 2022 and finished runner-up in last year, highlighting us as Best Bus Operator – is further evidence of the extremely high standards we are setting and maintaining against some tough competition across the transport sector.

“I’m also thrilled for Kary-Ann, Kian and Mohammad at Xplore Dundee to see them gain deserving nominations for Frontline Employee of the Year.

“They are highly valued colleagues and typify the great service that our drivers and our other support colleagues across Scotland provide on a daily basis.”
