never have to do any home-schooling ever again! I’d rather organise 12 80-person ensemble shows a year than have to do more improper fractions! I get to spend lots of time with Emma as well, and they all play a part in the business I’ve built.

was becoming available I couldn’t believe my luck. Leaving my old career to invest in a Stagecoach franchise was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I love the people – the whole environment we create and the fact that everything you put into it, it gives back even more. Everything about my time with Stagecoach has encouraged me to take this leap, so really, investing in this new territory was a no-brainer.” For Mark, the key difference between


his role as a Stagecoach Principal and the responsibilities of his past career is the work-life balance he’s achieved. “I can see my girls all week, and they’re

And with the help, training and support of the network and advice of former franchisees, it’s no surprise we’ve made Stagecoach Leeds Morley such a success.  ver cnfiden a ere ging  ae agecac esr and irfield every bit as successful.
