As part of Zeelo’s ESG Strategy to drive the transition towards net zero-bus transport in the United Kingdom by 2030, we are delighted to announce that Dwight School London has become the first independent school in the United Kingdom to adopt a new electric bus service for their students.
Many students use a bus or other form of public transportation to get to school, and this frequent trip offers an opportunity for unsupervised social interaction and, of course, catching up on any last-minute homework. But schools must realise how crucial it is to ensure that safety and welfare rules are followed while providing transportation services.

The task is not for the faint-hearted so we have split the UK teams across north and south across all business verticals to streamline operations.
