Sir Brian inspires new Stagecoach leadership: CEO Martin Griffiths envisions Megabus sleeper coaches in U.S.

摘要

Sir Brian Souter stepped up to chairman of Stagecoach, Perth, Scotland, handing over the position of chief executive officer to Martin Griffiths effective May 1. Souter co-founded Stagecoach with his sister Ann Gloag, starting with two coaches running express services between Scotland and London. The government of the day broke up the state-owned National Bus Company and the Scottish Bus Group. Stagecoach expanded rapidly, later taking on rail franchises when British Rail was privatized.
