The Company, BELLE VUE (MANCHESTER) LTD originally famous for pleasure rides including 'The Bobs' and the beautiful zoological gardens, is now Manchester's leading brand in ‘Fun packed Coach Tours.'
  
Based on the theme of a 'fun packed day out' from the old Belle Vue, the new BELLE VUE is gearing towards fun packed excursions and holidays for everyone. From a variety of coach tours from our group excursion brochure, visits to fun filled theme parks for the kids, to door -to -door holidays for senior citizens! We provide a comprehensive professional service that ensures all our passengers receive a fantastic experience.
The original company started trading in 1925 and became the country's leading pleasure park. With a vast site featuring pleasure rides, zoo, circus, dance halls, wrestling, boxing, roller skating, bowling, bingo, speedway, stock cars, greyhound racing, a lake and beautiful gardens to name just some of the attractions.
The memories of the original Belle Vue still linger in the minds of those fortunate enough to have experienced the pleasure of such an outstanding theme park. The company was broken up into sections and sold off in the seventies. The original site was sold for redevelopment.
Today the site hosts a bingo hall, cinema complex, fast food restaurants, a private housing estate and a vehicle auction centre. Opposite the site of the old speed way track (now vehicle auctions) is where the new BELLE VUE was first incorporated.
The business developed consistent growth from 1992 to 2005 until a move to The Travel Centre, Discovery Park, Crossley Road, Stockport in October 2005. The company was formed in 1992 by the present Directors. The Company progressed into one of Manchester’s leading transport taxi operators. The Company served hundreds of Companies ranging from every walk of life right across the city such was our reputation for reliability.
As the 1990’s progressed and due to customer demand, Belle Vue advanced into chauffeuring services, minibuses services, coaching services and a holiday travel service. Belle Vue sold off the taxi service side of the business in 1999 to re-invest and focus on the coach travel business.
At the turn of the millennium Belle Vue developed a garage, which advanced and improved their in-house facilities.
In 2003 Belle Vue expanded into the Yellow School Bus Scheme. Working closely with the GMPTE, Belle Vue has incorporated a fleet of state-of-the-art Yellow School Buses incorporating many beneficial safety features.
The development of this project has secured Belle Vue as a leading School Transport Supplier, not only as a home to school transport provider, but also as a leading private hire day trip provider. The high standards of driver training have resulted in closer and better serving driver/student relationships.
In 2005 Belle Vue expanded its fleet of Wheelchair Accessible Coaches by purchasing the fleet of Stockport based, County Coaches Limited. This purchase secured Belle Vue as the North West’s leading Wheelchair accessible Coach Operator.
In September 2005 Belle Vue relocated from The Base at Belle Vue Manchester, to The Travel Centre, Discovery Park, Stockport. Belle Vue are now strategically placed between City Centre Manchester, Stockport and Manchester Airport which are all 15 minutes away.
The Directors passion for continuous improvement has seen many changes since the birth of the company and will continue to do so for the coming future. |
