Children and grandchildren of Stagecoach employees right across the country have come together virtually to spread a little festive cheer with a special rendition of the 'Twelve Days of Christmas'.
The UK’s biggest bus and coach operator has created its very own Twelve Days of Christmas song reflecting its important role in connecting communities and keeping people moving.
After putting out a request to its 24,000 strong team, Stagecoach was inundated with interest from children and grandchildren to take part. A special video has been released today showing 17 children aged between 4 and 15, related to bus drivers, duty managers and support staff from the West Midlands, the North West, the North East, London, the South West, the South East, the Scottish Highlands and Cambridgeshire.
The Stagecoach Twelve Days of Christmas song relates to its major bus, tram and coach operation, whilst also recognising the crucial work that takes place behind the scenes, with reference to Blink, the organisation’s employee app, as well as its Stagecoach Stars internal reward scheme.
The Stagecoach Special Twelve Days of Christmas song includes:
- 12 buses painted
- 11 cleaners cleaning
- 10 engineers fixing
- Nine managers working
- Eight bells-a-buzzing
- Seven coaches running
- Six messages Blinking
- 2.FIVE million customers
- Four trams running
- Three stars shining
- Two planners planning, and
- A driver in a Stagecoach bus
Carla Stockton-Jones, UK Managing Director for Stagecoach said: “We know this has been a tough year for everybody, but as we approach the festive season, we wanted to spread a little Stagecoach cheer.
“We were inundated with requests from the children and grandchildren of our employees who wanted to take part and we hope everybody will enjoy our alternative Twelve Days of Christmas song.
“We’re extremely proud of the hard work of all of our employees in keeping the country moving and our communities connected during the pandemic, and we would like to thank our customers for their support and wish everybody our best for the festive season.”
