Statement by TUV Bannside councillor Timothy Gaston:
“The announcement by Wrightbus that they have, in conjunction with their partner Volvo Bus, won a contract to supply a further 415 double decker buses for a Singapore company is great news not just for Ballymena but the entirety of North Antrim. I extend my congratulations to Wrightbus and their skilled workforce who have established a business with a global reputation.
“In a time of prevailing economic gloom Wrightbus is a welcome bright spot. They have demonstrated once again that they are a world leader when it comes to bus building.”
