Hedingham Omnibuses is a bus company in Essex. It is a subsidiary of the Go-Ahead Group. ==History== In 1921 Aubrey Letch shortly after serving in World War I, with his parents' help, trading under his own name commenced operating a coach hire company, gradually expanding to run bus services to Braintree and Sudbury on their market days of Wednesday and Thursday respectively. In March 1935 Letch purchased the competing business of PW Finch of Castle Hedingham. This allowed Letch to take over the Monday to Saturday workers' service to Braintree. In the late 1950s, he further expanded the business with routes to Gestingthorpe, Pebmarsh and Halstead.〔(About Hedingham ) Hedingham Omnibus 4 December 2004〕〔(Happy Anniversary Hedingham Omnibus! ) Focus Transport 1 August 2010〕 In early 1960, Letch retired due to ill health and sold the company to Donald MacGregor, which was renamed Hedingham & District Omnibuses. Since then the company has grown by acquiring other companies, including:〔〔 *Blackwells of Earls Colne (1965) *C & R Coach of Little Tey (1982) *Freemans Coaches (1997) *GW Osborne of Tollesbury (1997) *Jennings of Ashen (1984) *Kemps Coaches of Clacton-on-Sea *CJ Partridge and Sons (Claireaux) of Hadleigh, Suffolk (1994) *Wents of Boxford (1997) In March 2012 the company was sold to the Go-Ahead Group.〔(Go-Ahead buys Hedingham Omnibuses ) ''busandcoach.com'' 6 March 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hedingham Omnibuses」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
