Supporting Remembrance Sunday is of importance to the local bus operator as a significant number of its staff, including drivers, are ex-members of the armed forces.
Andy Simpson, Operations Director at First South Yorkshire, commented: “Remembrance Day is an incredibly important occasion for many people to show their support, or remember family members, friends
and others who have been lost in military service. We support the Royal British Legion every year, as a significant number of our team come from a military background.

First South Yorkshire supports the Royal British Legion every year and actively encourages the recruitment of new Bus Drivers and Engineers from the Armed Forces and veterans’ communities.
