Donric Group’s acquisition of the passenger transport group also includes a key appointment
Operator company Donric Group has announced it has recently acquired Melbourne on the Move (MOTM) in a bid to increase its passenger transport capabilities.
MOTM completes Melbourne day tours and coach hires for passenger transport in and around Melbourne.
Donric Group, which incorporates Bowen Transit, Trans North Bus & Coach, Organ’s Coaches, Coach Tours of Australia and Sunbury Coaches, announced through the latter’s Facebook page that it had made the acquisition.
MOTM has been successfully providing large-scale passenger transport services to major events and festivals across Victoria, including Red Hot Summer Tour, A Day on the Green, Spilt Milk, One Electric Day, Pitch Festival, Summer Salt, Groovin’ the Moo and various events at Mt Duneed and Hanging Rock for more than 10 years.
Donric Group has provided many coaches and shuttle buses for MOTM over the past decade, with this acquisition set to strengthen Donric’s capability and capacity in the transport management sector.
Donric says it will also provide further opportunities within the Sunbury and Organ’s businesses to supply bus services to the various events managed by MOTM.
“Brandon Powell returns to Donric after a short hiatus to take up the role of senior operations – events and business development,” Donric Group says.
“We welcome Brandon back to the Donric team and wish him well in the new role.”
MOTM was founded in the early 2000s by husband and wife Glenn (Snowy) and Carolyn Goodchild.
The team have built a reputation for their ability to deliver on large-scale passenger movements and Donric says it looks forward to continuing this into the future.
“We wish Snowy and Cas all the very best in their next chapter in life,” Donric says.
