 Over 50 years ago Fred Burdett
started working for himself in the passenger transport business
by taking people to and from the seaside resort of Skegness on
the East coast of England. As this and other work increased he
bought his first two full size coaches in the late 1960s. In
the early 1970s his eldest son Jeff joined the now thriving family
business and a couple of years later his other son David joined
the company.A true family business had been created as Fred's wife Joyce also took an active daily role in the company. Over the next few years the business expanded and several more coaches were purchased. However, it was decided early on to concentrate on providing a high quality service and to this end the company bought its first two new coaches in 1980. These two new coaches enabled Burdetts Coaches to work on the incoming tourist market where Jeff and David along with Keith Bramhall, who was employed by the Burdetts worked for Clarkes of London Coaches, transporting thousands of tourists around London, England and Scotland. It was whilst working for Clarkes of London that Burdetts Coaches of Sheffield learned the speciall skills needed to work with incoming tour groups and both Jeff and David owe an enormous ammount of thanks to Bill Clarke himself for all his help those many years ago. Over the next decade more new coaches were purchased at regular intervals to replace older vehicles and the company soon earned a reputation for quality and reliability. |
