About Us
Rayleigh Roadways Limited was founded in July 1969 by the late Mr Norman Read of the Ferrers Coaches, later in 1971 Norman's daughter Brenda and husband George took over the business.
Today Wendy and her husband Kevin now operate the business together with their son Andrew and daughter Clare. Wendy's mother Brenda still likes to be involved and is often seen keeping herself busy in the office.
Our modern fleet of coaches are of immaculate appearance, each with its own characteristics. All coaches are fitted with seat belts, other features include reclining seats, toilets, tea & coffee machine, folding tables and air conditioning. All vehicles are maintained to the highest standard as safety is of the utmost importance.
Our skillful drivers will ensure you have a safe and comfortable journey with a friendly and reliable service, which has been one of the company's main areas of success. All drivers are carefully picked and have undergone enhanced CRB checks.
