There is no better way of expanding your reach into the bus and coach industry than by attending the National Bus and Coach Show.
Coming from a background in heavy vehicle glass repair, National Windscreens national heavy commercial manager John Perrie knew that the company’s latest offerings would draw a lot of eyes.

“Our main goal is to basically be a one stop shop for everyone in the heavy commercial sector,” Perrie told ABC.
“We’ve branched out from doing just supply and fit work to wholesale. We do marine, all sorts of different things, machinery work.
“We also had our ADAS display at the Show. It’s specifically designed for trucks, buses and coaches and the wider heavy commercial sector, and it’s the only one in Australia.”
Perrie says that the Show was the perfect opportunity for the team to get out into the industry and re-introduce National Windscreens after its most recent acquisitions of Top End Windscreens & Tinting in Darwin, Alpha Bus Glass in Melbourne and Phoenix Glass in Brisbane.
“People didn’t really understand what we actually did in the sector,” he says.
“So to be able to explain that to people and really have contact with people that you never can usually get access to day to day has been fantastic.”
Sneaking ABC a peek into the future, Perrie says there are big plans in store for the company, with expansions, acquisitions and new offerings front of mind.
“We plan to keep innovating and widening our reach and offerings to our customers.”
