In one of the most competitive awards, the judges said, "'Anthony's Travel demonstrated an amazing amount of community based activity across a range of organisations and charities. It was a really strong entry and they have really gone the extra mile." Richard Bamber, Partner of Anthony's Travel commented, "its amazing that a company my father, Tony, founded with one minicoach in 1985 has been deemed worthy of such an honour. We are very proud of our routes within Halton and Cheshire and our family ethos has always been to help others which has been the foundation of our business. Each one of the wide selection of community partnerships we believe in and don't simply pay lip service; hopefully what we have done as a small company with limited resources can inspire other small businesses to make a difference in the community they trade in."

This will incorporate TPMS, brake and hub overheat early warnings. Michelin approved, this product is a cost effective solution for reducing downtime and has the potential to help avoid fatal incidents as a result of wheel loss from a vehicle. The system alerts the driver of any impending danger and accurately identifies the precie wheel that is loosening. This is a technology focused solution to a historical safety problem.
