I’m incredibly proud to launch the industry’s first-ever virtual show, the CBWShow! An event that, come rain or shine, you can attend. On holiday? Not in the country? It doesn’t matter! A busy schedule, especially for operators, can limit when you can attend. That’s why we’ve developed a show that, no matter what, you can get to from the comfort of wherever you are, whatever the time. I’m excited for the future of the CBW virtual show given this is what’s been achieved in the last six months, and we’re only just getting started, so watch this space. At CBW, our mission has always been to support our industry and help every part of it thrive. This year, we’ve taken a major step forward with the development of our Coach & Bus Guide, a new website created to make operators’ lives easier. It’s designed as a true one-stop shop, giving operators quick access to suppliers, service providers, industry contacts, and much more that we’re continuing to build behind the scenes. I’m honoured to be part of the ever-evolving CBW team and to work for a business that genuinely listens to what the industry needs. I hope you enjoy exploring our virtual show.

Welcome to the CBW virtual show stand! Yes – it’s a bit different this year, and that’s exactly why we decided to do it. With no physical show to gather everyone under one roof, we wanted to make sure suppliers still had a proper platform to shout about what they’ve achieved in 2025 and what exciting things are coming for 2026. If we were together in person, this is the point where I’d be shaking hands, handing out magazines and catching up with familiar faces from across the industry. But as always, I’m here with the rest of the team to help you tell your story. Whether you’re looking to promote a new product, strengthen your brand presence or explore fresh marketing opportunities with CBW, I’d love to chat. One of the best parts of show season is hearing what businesses have planned for the year ahead, and even in this virtual space, that remains just as important. Thank you for coming to the CBWShow, for stopping by our stand, and for your continued support of Coach & Bus Week. I hope you really enjoy this special edition.

Welcome to our virtual CBWShow from me too! We wanted to create a platform to promote all of the amazing products we have seen launched across the past 12 months as well as to bring people together to celebrate their ongoing success. We’re all keen to talk to you about any new ideas you have too, and how we can help you to create interest and promote your latest product, service or venture. Please do let us know if we can help your business grow in 2026; tell us what you want from us, and we look forward to working with you to drive your success.

A quick hello from me too, and welcome to our very first virtual CBWShow! This has been a bit of a passion project for me over the last few months as I’ve been busy building the website, CBWShow.com, so it’s really lovely to finally share it with you all. When you have a moment, please have a look around the website: there are exclusive videos and a lot of bonus bits we couldn’t fit into the magazine. It’s all set up so you can dip in and out whenever you like, just like wandering around a real show, but without the sore feet! And while you’re here, I’d also like to mention something close to my heart: Coach & Bus Guide, or CBG. If you’re out on the road a lot, it’s genuinely one of those things that just makes life a bit easier. You can find help, facilities, repairs, or even just somewhere to park when you’re in a new location. I really hope you enjoy the show, both in print and online. It’s been a team effort, and it’s exciting to finally see it all come to life. Please do let us know if we can help your business grow in 2026; tell us what you want from us, and we look forward to working with you to drive your success.

Hi from me too! It’s really great to be here at the CBWShow after all the work that’s gone into making it a reality. It’s fantastic to see so many virtual faces, old and new, joining us for our first ever virtual trade show. We’ve enjoyed working with you all to create it, and hearing about your successes in 2025. We’re looking forward to seeing what everyone has planned for 2026 now too!
