Responding to the announcement from Alexander Dennis that the company “intends to keep Scottish manufacturing sites open and operational”, Transform Scotland director Colin Howden commented:
“Fantastic news from Alexander Dennis this morning, with Scottish bus manufacturing saved for the time being. The Scottish Government deserves praise for its last-minute interventions to turn around the business’ prospects, but it is now clearly the time for a proactive Scottish bus industrial strategy. This must take advantage not only of manufacturing capacity provided by Alexander Dennis, but also involve the many bus operators headquartered in Scotland.”
