Victorian operator Dyson Group has made a new appointment, with Stuart Overell taking over as the operators’ new head of its Melbourne operations.
With more than 650 buses and coaches and more than 1,300 staff, Dysons is a leading local operator for metropolitan and regional town route services, school bus solutions and premium charter services.
Now, it has a new spearhead of its Melbourne operations, with Overell joining the operator after experience as a CEO, COO, managing director and executive general manager across industries.
“Exciting times lie ahead as we embark on the electrification of depots and the integration of battery electric buses,” Overell says on a LinkedIn post.
“Our commitment is to decarbonise operations and minimise environmental impact.
“I’m excited to lead the charge in adopting cutting-edge technologies to elevate safety, sustainability, efficiency, and customer service at Dysons. Looking forward to contributing to our shared vision of a greener, more innovative future.”
In other Dysons news, the operator also recently became one of the first companies to sign and partner with the Transport Workers’ Union (TWU) on the memorandum of understanding to ensure safety and fairness for bus drivers across Victoria’s public transport network.
Dysons says it will follow the principles to ensure that it always works in a safe, fair and sustainable manner for bus drivers, passengers and other road users.
