Our journey began way back in 1970, backed by our family heritage
'E' Coaches was founded back in 1970 by Eric Bacon as 'E' Taxis before becoming a coach company in 1975. His beloved wife Janet joined to manage the book keeping and cleaning and his son Keiron joined the business in 1989 and took ownership in 1996. The company today is still owned by Keiron and proudly run by the third generation in the form of Connor Bacon. We're lovingly family run and pride ourselves on offering the personal touch.
