Dan Brown and Dans Luxury Travel

The company started in 1974 from a bedroom office with just one Minibus which Mr Brown ran himself. The word got around with schoolwork and nightclubs for the younger generation.Dan Brown couldn't cope with just one bus so he had to buy another 2nd hand 12 seated transit.Then things really did get start to get on the way. It got so busy and hectic running everything from a little bedroom so he then moved to an office in Loughton called North Farm.

His fleet of minibuses got too big for the small depot he had, so he had to look for somewhere a lot bigger if the company was going to expand. Dan Brown then moved to a place in Chingford called Royal Forest Coach House. He employed three members of staff, who are still here today, along with three fitters to maintain the vehicles. He then grew out of the little transits so he thought he would try out 16 seated Mercedes which was a success, with school trips and day trips to France etc.

He wanted to expand even more but he was worried about getting too big to fast. It seems the bigger the vehicle the more busy it got so he then invested two 29 seaters, He also had a good variety of drivers who looked after the coaches which helped a lot. Then the rest is history and as time went on the more coaches he bought the more staff he had to employ to run such a vast growing company.

He now has over fifty coaches on the road from little transits right up to 51 seaters. So you can see for yourself how much the business has grown.
