Serving the community
Cambridge Dial-a-Ride has a Board of Trustees, who are all unpaid volunteers. All of the Trustees still drive our mini buses regularly for the organisation.
The Chairman of the Board is William (Bill) Hughes. Bill joined Dial a Ride in 2014 as a volunteer driver, and became a Trustee in 2016. He became Chairman on 1st October 2018 when Alan Edwards retired.
Linda Mills has been a trustee of Cambridge Dial-a-Ride for a number of years. Linda started as a volunteer driver over 24 years ago. As a volunteer driver, Linda takes our customers on trips to Supermarkets for their weekly shopping or to Garden Centres and together with her favourite bus known as No 5, is well loved by all who travel with her.
Our other Trustees are Simon Turner, Pippa Corbett, Graham Redgrave (our Company Secretary) and Andrew Matthews.
Mark Bennett is our Operations Manager who is responsible for ensuring the whole Dial-a-Ride operation runs smoothly. Managing not only the day to day office functions, the Operations Manager looks after all of our buses ensuring they are all maintained and ready to safely carry our passengers to their destinations. Alongside the Manager Lyn Hartley and Ellie (El) Sumner-Kindersley are always there at the other end of the line to answer your queries and take journey enquiries/bookings.
Lyn our Office Manager and El prepare all the schedules for our drivers keeping them busy and liaise with members regarding when they want to travel, in addition to keeping our records correct and well maintained.
