I shall be visiting Clacton depot on Thursday 24th September between the hours of 06.00 and 09.00.
After which, I will then be moving on to Colchester Haven road between 10.00 and 12.00 hrs. Please come and have a chat with me about any issues.
"Your Voice" survey will be returning very shortly to us all.
Between 5th and 30th of October we're asking everyone who works at First Essex to tell us what they think.
EVERY COMPLETED ONLINE SURVEY GENERATES A £2 DONATION TO PROSTATE CANCER UK and every completed paper survey generates a £1 donation.
I'm sure we can raise a fair amount of cash which hopefully will make a difference to the lives of people living with prostate cancer. Just simply complete the form.

On Thursday 27th of August I had the pleasure of spending time with the Basildon VQO team .It is always good to see how our business works through all the teams that contribute to the process of the running of our company. Every night the buses need to be refuelled and Ad-blue actioned; the bus washed and then parked in the correct position for the morning and finally they are swept out and given a brisk clean of the cab and dash area. When working alongside Engineering, the faults recorded on the vehicle defect card are passed through to engineering to action as required, certain buses are requested for standard maintenance checks so the guys liaise to make sure this is achieved.
It wouldn't have been a true summers evening without the obliquity torrential downpour but this failed to dampen our spirits! Waterproofs were quickly sourced and they were off again! I'm pretty sure I burnt a high number of calories simply shadowing the guys as they went through the peak between 7 and 8pm. The one essential request that I will highlight is please wear a hi-viz jacket it can save a life and the guys would really appreciate that they can see where you are!
The night crews have to pull together to make sure we are all ready for another day out on the road.
It was an absolute privilege to spend time with George, PJ, Clive and the rest of the team.
