Product Description

Hamish McRae, The Independent
Corporate cowboys or genuine geniuses - or maybe both? Christian Wolmar gives an honest and illuminating account of how Brian Souter and Ann Gloag have made Stagecoach the greatest start-up business of the Conservative years.

Magnus Linklater, former Editor of The Scotsman and Times columnist
Anyone who thinks that the Scots have lost their entrepreneurial flair should read this riveting account of the birth and growth of the Stagecoach empire - one of the most extraordinary business success stories of the post-Thatcher era.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read account of the rise of Stagecoach., 8 Dec 2000

By	"peter25929" - See all my reviews

The press reviews give a good summary of what this book is all about. It covers the company history and its operations style. You are unlikely to rush out to drive one of their buses.
