I congratulate my former colleagues at Wrightbus on securing a landmark deal to supply more than 1,000 buses to the Go-Ahead Group over the next three years. The deal, which is the largest in the company's 78-year history, will see hundreds of Go-Ahead buses built each year, for the next three years, at Wrightbus' Ballymena headquarters. It is a deal marked by the hard work and commitment that will, undoubtedly, shape the future of the recently named fastest-growing bus manufacturer in the UK. That accomplishment is not just a testament to Wrightbus' exceptional products and services but a reflection of the relentless determination and passion that each member of its workforce puts forth every day. Winning the order is a testament to the trust and confidence that Wrightbus customers have in the company, and underscores the exceptional quality and innovation that Wrightbus consistently delivers. The major order is a win for not just Wrightbus; it is a win for everyone who believes in its vision and mission. The road to success is often filled with challenges but, with perseverance and teamwork, Wrightbus has triumphed. This achievement will not only enhance its reputation in the market but open doors to new opportunities, collaborations and growth. Congratulations once again. The hard work has paid off, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Wrightbus.
