Dyson Group acquire O’Connell’s Omeo Bus Service

Dyson Group has acquired O’Connell’s Omeo Bus Service, also a family owned business, after almost 60 years of operation.

The O’Connell’s operation consists of the Omeo and surrounding area based school runs and the Alps Link Bus Service between Omeo and Bright, which Dyson Group will continue to run.

In a statement the company says it’s “excited” to further service the local community of Omeo in addition to the Omeo to Bairnsdale service Dyson Group already run.

“This will be the first time Dyson Group will be operating snow services in our history and we are ready for the challenge,” Dyson Group adds.

“The Dyson family thanks the O’Connell family for this opportunity and wish them all the best. We look forward to seeing where this unique venture takes us.”

A family owned and operated bus company founded in 1952, the Dyson Group operates more than 480 buses and coaches while employing over 800 staff in metropolitan Melbourne, regional Victoria and NSW. It operates tours and charter; airport transfers; school runs; and metropolitan commuter services.
