Commenting on the new delivery, Interim Managing Director of First in Aberdeen, David Stewart said: “All our luxury executive coaches are available for hire and I’m delighted to be able to strengthen our service proposition with the addition of two new coaches at a time when both the tourism and corporate sectors of the market are becoming ever more discerning about quality.”
