From the administrators' statement
The business of Renown Coaches started trading in the early 1960s by Christian Harmer’s late mother and father who started by operating one private hire car The business grew over the following years with staff transportation contracts and seasonal foreign student travel and was able to establish a good coach hire business. Premises were acquired as were a fleet of old coaches/buses with low capital cost
Christian Harmer joined his parents in the business from school in 1978, forming a family business where he managed the workshop maintenance, his mother managed operations and father managed finance In 1981, the business moved to a large goods yard and obtained 2 HGV vehicles which operated alongside the coach/bus fleet for several years.
