Charlotte commented: “I’m delighted to have accepted the position of Marketing and Communications Manager with Stagecoach East Scotland. I am passionate about local communities and people, having previously lead charity and school campaigns. Corporate Social Responsibility is more than ticking a box and working for a customer focussed organisation like Stagecoach means I can actively bring positive engagement to our region, whilst also developing new marketing and internal communication campaigns and strategies for our team.

The team here at East Scotland have won multiple awards for their innovative marketing campaigns and creativity so I’m thankful to be joining a team of equally enthusiastic and ambitious people who will continue to grow awareness of the great things Stagecoach are doing in our region.”
