Our Board

The UKCOA Board are elected from the membership at the Annual General Meeting each March. They ensure that the Associations aims and objectives are taken forward and that members views are fairly represented to those bodies who influence coach operation in the UK including the Department for Transport and regional bodies including Transport for London and local authorities. The Managing Director, the Director of Operations along with the Membership and Administration Manager support the Board and the work of the Association.

In addition, we can advise members of any requirements for the services they provide to be run under a London Service Permit (LSP) issued by Transport for London (TfL). Together with our industry partners, we work to improve the infrastructure and environment in the UK for coach travel. New members are welcome. Further information and an application form can be found here.
