Nearby school closure demanded action

When a nearby school closed its doors, Devonshire house stepped in to provide places for many displaced students - providing a transport service was vital to making the transition seamless for students and parents whilst allowing the school to widen its potential catchment for affected families.

Solution

Rapid Deployment of a New Transport Service with Zeelo

In just three weeks, Zeelo worked closely with Devonshire House to plan and launch a fully managed coach service. With the right-sized vehicles and efficient routing ensuring convenient stop locations and short travel times, the new service helped make the school more accessible to prospective families.

A massive thank you to Zeelo. We have not provided a coach service before and in three weeks we had a brand new route planned, setup and delivered! This directly led to us gaining a large group of new students and without the excellent and responsive service we received we would not have been able to meet their needs.
