Community Transport Association will present the NI MiDAS Driver of the Year award at the grand final gala in Belleek, Fermanagh, on Friday 19 October 2007.

Last years winner, Roland Livingstone will present the coveted Optare MiDAS Driver of the Year trophy to the 2007 winner. Roland says

" I have enjoyed my time as the holder of this award. It has been unusual to appear in the limelight so much. I hope that everyone involved in this year's competition has enjoyed the experience. Good luck to all the finalists".

Roland, a driver with Rural Lift for South and West Fermanagh won the competiton last year. His achievement has been celebrated for the last year throughout Fermanagh. Manager Anita Flanagan says,"Roland is a great driver and has a wonderful personality. All our passengers love travelling with Roland. He is both professional and caring. All at Rural Lift were delighted when he won the Minibus Driver of the Year last year. I hope we retain the trophy for Fermanagh this year!".

Hosting the competiton is the Community Transport Association. Kellie Armstrong Support and Development Officer agreed

"Minibus drivers are often the best kept secret in local communities. They provide a wonderful service and passengers really appreciate them but very often that appreciation is only given through a quick thank you said as a passenger goes back in doors. The MiDAS Driver of the Year competition goes in some way to show how much our community drivers are apprciated and how their proferssionalism is admired. I look forward to the final and wish all competitors well".
