It’s been an exciting week for our friends from Boreham Wood FC who overcame a spirited Forest Green Rovers Football Club in the The National League play-off eliminator on Wednesday evening, which saw Proximity Coach Travel sponsor the Match Ball.

Today we’ve moved supporters at 0330 in the morning all the way to Carlisle United Football Club where they will play in front of sell-out crowd of 13,000 at 12:30.

It’s a real David v Goliath story but the team are just one game from Wembley for a place in the EFL. The stakes have never been higher. ⚽️

Good luck to Luke and the Boys!

Drum Roll......

Positive news coming out of Proximity Coach Travel this evening.

Just over 12-months since our venture commenced, we have been shortlisted for the 'Micro Business Award' in the 2026 Burnley Business Awards, which is aimed at businesses with 1-10 employees.

Irrespective of outcome, we take great pride having built a small business that set out as a husband and wife lifestyle enterprise to now employ 5 people.

We bring groups into the UK from all over the world every week. Last week we had a French Student Exchange group from Toulouse and a football academy from Cork, Ireland. Tomorrow, we have two groups arriving from Karachi, Pakistan for a conference and incentive trip. However, our roots are very much East Lancashire and have chosen Padiham as our base to build a business, employing local people and giving them the platform to be part of our story.

ABBA - UPDATE

Good evening,

I know many of you have been chasing regarding ABBA but unfortunately (for now), we are having to leave it.

With rising fuel costs, it's resulted in the coach price increasing along with the hotel pricing too. In the end, it was working out at almost £50pp more and from the brief feedback we have had, it was probably a tad too much at this moment in time.

We have retained all of your details and should the situation change, we will be in touch to let you know the revised details.

For now, thank you for your interest and contact. We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to working with you again in the near future.

Kind regards,
Matt and Kath

ABBA Update:

We are currently experiencing an issue securing the hotel at the group rate we have budgeted for on the Abba trips in October and November. As a result, we are currently trying to find an alternative at a similar price. We are in touch with the people that have reached out to us and we respectfully ask for your patience whilst this is resolved. Having been at Cheltenham last week, it's probably going to be later this week. Please note that all those that have reached out will be prioritised so be assured of best intentions at all times.

Regards,
Proximity Coach Travel

We’ve just rounded off a great week with the Heracles Almelo Power Chair touring side, superbly organised by Melanie Benson.

They arrived from Holland as new customers, they leave as firm friends of Proximity Coach Travel.

It’s been our absolute privilege to provide transport to the group and our thanks go to supply chain partner’s CAB Travel and Swans Travel for delivering an exquisite service.
