Jason Edwards, Managing Director of coach operator Jason Edwards Travel, and Paul Harper, Commercial Director at coach and hotel operator Daish’s Group, have joined the Coach Tourism Association’s (CTA) board of directors.

Jason Edwards launched Jason Edwards Travel early last year, establishing a 19-strong coach fleet with bases in Heathrow and Pontypridd to provide coach holidays, as well as coach hire and National Express route operation. Meanwhile, Paul Harper has extensive experience in the tourism sector, and amongst other responsibilities, heads up the coaching operation for Daish’s, which includes the operation of the group’s fleet of 35 coaches.

Commenting on the new appointments to the CTA board, CTA Chair, Robert Shaw, says: “Paul and Jason are well known in our industry because of the experience, skills, and capabilities they bring. They know how to create and manage successful businesses, and this knowledge will be a great asset to assist fellow CTA members.”
