Reading Buses had the help of a very special guest to launch their “Festive Fortnight” today – Father Christmas!
The company announced their fun-filled two weeks with Santa in front of their Christmas Bus – a Winnersh Triangle park & ride bus that has been decorated, both inside and out, to reflect their commitment to everyone having a fantastic Christmas.
The Festive Fortnight kicks off today, Thursday 12 December with Christmas Jumper day. Throughout the next two weeks, up until Christmas Day, the company are encouraging their employees to wear Christmas attire such as jumpers, santa hats, tinsel or other Christmassy accessories and to give a donation to their charity of the year, Royal Berkshire Charity whilst doing so.
Said Robert Williams, Reading Buses Chief Executive Officer; “Festive Fortnight is our employees’ chance to bring a little bit of Christmas cheer. Some will come to work in Christmas jumpers, others may opt for a bit of subtle tinsel, and one is a full-on Santa. It’s all in aid of raising a few smiles, and a few pounds for the Royal Berks Charity.”
“We were also delighted to welcome Santa back into our driver pool again this year. He has been driving some of our buses for the last few days and will continue to do so up to Christmas Eve as his elves are more than capable of planning his important work during Christmas Eve night!”
Continued Robert, “If any of our customers would like to donate to the Royal Berks Charity themselves, they can do so by texting 5BUS to 70085 to donate £5.”
Santa wants all the good little boys and girls to know that even though he is driving the bus to spread festive cheer, he will still be able to make all his deliveries before Christmas Day!
