Access11 Community Transport Social Enterprise of the Year
Community transport aims to deliver innovative community-led transport solutions. To do so many operators have developed a social enterprise approach to their business to provide a more diverse and sustainable business model. The CTA wants to hear about the most enterprising community transport businesses across the UK. Judges will be looking for innovation in both enterprise and service delivery. We especially want to hear from operators who can demonstrate how a social enterprise approach has allowed them to invest in the sustainable delivery of frontline services.
As one of the original supporters and exhibitors at the CTA annual event, Mellor is delighted to sponsor the Community Transport Social Enterprise of the Year award in this, the CTA’s 25th anniversary celebration year. The community transport sector is seen by Mellor as a an important area, one that will enjoy the benefits of Mellor leading the way by being the first company to process Whole Vehicle Type Approval for its product range. On our stand in the Access11 exhibition you can see for yourself the superb quality associated with the name Mellor and discuss with our team the reasons why you should only purchase a vehicle built to these exacting standards.
