National Express awarded Sword of Honour

National Express Bus has won the Sword of Honour from the British Safety Council.

The British Safety Council says that the Sword of Honour represents “the pinnacle of health and safety management”. Before they can compete for the Sword of Honour, companies around the world must have first achieved a maximum five star rating as a result of an intensive two-week audit by BSC. National Express Bus has held its five star rating since 2016.

Mark Heffernan, National Express Operations and Safety Director, said: “We are very proud to have again been recognised as one of the very best. This is a testament to all our employees’ dedication and relentless focus on health, safety and wellbeing during what have been some uniquely difficult times.

“Every single one of our employees has played a part in achieving this award through their hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to doing the right thing in all areas of our business – keeping our people and our customers safe and well.”
