“We use BATS transport twice a week both on Tuesday and Friday at both different lunch clubs. They’re a fantastic organisation we couldn’t bring some of our people here without them I found their drivers very friendly and helpful the office is very accommodating in fact I can’t speak highly enough of them we’re really pleased to use those services and we’re delighted that they’re there”
