Our Team

The company’s management team and our experience in the industry

Mr Wyn Lloyd

Managing Director (company owner)

Mr Wyn Lloyd, the owner of the Company, has more than 40 years’ experience in the transport industry. He started his career with Mid Wales Motorways (Newtown) as an apprentice mechanic before moving on, with the same company, to mechanic/driver.

During March of 1983, Mr Lloyd commenced employment with the then Crosville Motor Services as a driver, also covering as a mechanic at their Dolgellau Depot.

During his time with Crosville/Crosville Wales Ltd Mr Lloyd progressed through the ranks before becoming responsible for their depot at Machynlleth.

During his time in this position, he was able to develop the local bus network in the Machynlleth area by being in touch with the customer market base. At this time he gained a long standing arrangement with Central Trains to undertake any rail replacement work at times of emergency on the Cambrian Rail Line. This meant working long and difficult hours.

After many years as Operations Officer at the Machynlleth Depot, during 2001, Mr Lloyd embarked on establishing his own bus and coach business through applying his many years’ experience in the industry.

From 2001 to 2011, under Mr Lloyd’s guidance, the Company expanded school contracts and services in the Dyfi Valley and Dysynni area and then from 2012 onwards to the present day, the Company has expanded it’s network to cover routes for Traws Cymru covering North West and North East Wales down to Mid Wales, along with running services in the Denbigh and Ruthin area and also as far south as Lampeter.

Today Mr Wyn Lloyd operates one of the leading bus and coach companies of Wales.
