Stagecoach in East Kent and Hastings has promoted Bill Webb to Training and Development Manager. Based at the company’s Ashford depot, Bill will now oversee all aspects of vocational training for the 900 management, administration and driving personnel working from the 6 depots within his remit. 

His promotion follows 7 years as NVQ Assessor with Stagecoach. Bill will not only continue to oversee the driver induction and NVQ training but will ensure that the E U directive introducing the Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) for bus drivers from September will be met with full compliance. 

“There can be no doubt that the introduction of the CPC will add new challenges to the bus industry,” said Bill Webb.  “We are now best prepared to meet the new training and induction requirements.”
