| Wheels
began in 1985 as a partnership between Ashley
Wakelin and Rob Paramor. Both were railway and bus
enthusiasts and each with a history in the transport
industry and in tourism and corporate entertainment spanning
many years. They remembered the good old
fashioned days of British transport and travel and wanted to
create something which would evoke some of this
nostalgia and excitement. And so Wheels was born.
Over the
years WHEELS has evolved to encompass other transport
related projects, including specialising in Vintage Bus, Classic
Coach and
Wheelchair accessible Coach Hire which were always part of the original Wheels concept.
Almost by fate,
developments in this direction progressed a couple of years
ago when within a two year period we bought Midland Red
Coaches - a super name and perfectly fitting in with our
operations, We have since obtained a further two vehicles
complementing the Midland
Red title, namely the ex Midland Red North vintage Charabanc,and the fabulous BMMO D9 double decker.
Our classic bus and
coach hire and advice service covers a large area radiating
from Hinckley, Coventry and Rugby to most of the old Midland Red
operating area.
Thankfully the WHEELS transport theme is diverse and
the 'wheel' has turned once again. Our Wheels / Midland Red Coaches vintage buses and coaches have now become a more prominent and
important part of our operation.
I guess
you could say we're constantly "Reinventing
Wheels!"
For
more details, see our History pages which
tell the story of the birth of Wheels, and what
we set out to create.
