Coach Marque - Your Assurance Of Quality

York Pullman is proud to be a CoachMarque accredited Company.

Coach Marque

CoachMarque is the quality standard of the UK coach industry. It is concerned with all aspects of the business and not just the coach itself.

All CoachMarque companies operate to a strict set of criteria and are regularly assessed by an independent auditor to ensure compliance with the highest standards in safety, customer service and operational excellence.

The CoachMarque accreditation scheme is administered by the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) , the trade association for the coach and bus industry of which we are also a member. CoachMarque is also the only UK member of the Global Passenger Network (GPN), the worldwide organisation for quality coach operators (www.gpn.travel).

All CoachMarque members are independently audited to prove they comply with the following quality standards:

Safety
