Salisbury Reds looking to name a bus after a local 'Covid hero'
Our suggestions are needed by the bus operator
Last updated 14th Jan 2021
Salisbury Reds wants to adorn the front of one of their vehicles with the name of someone who's gone above and beyond during the pandemic.
The company say they want to 'recognise the mammoth efforts of key workers and community heroes' over the last year.
They're launching a nomination campaign for us to put forward suggestions for who should be honoured.
Salisbury Reds Managing Director Andrew Wickham said:
"My colleagues here at Salisbury Reds are themselves key workers, and we have huge respect for those keeping us all going - whether they are NHS, supermarket staff, postal workers, carers or teachers.
"It hasn't been easy for the many heroes who have continued to work in some incredibly challenging conditions. We would not have been able to manage without them. There is no way we could ever thank them enough - but we'd like to do something to recognise their efforts.
"So we're inviting nominations from within our local community, for someone who deserves to be named as a Covid Hero - for all to see - on one of our buses. This could be a key worker professional or a community ambassador who has carried out much need charity and voluntary work."
If you can think of anyone who could be featured, you can submit it through the Salisbury Reds website or through their social media.
Voting's open until Sunday 28th February, with the winner's name staying on a bus for 12 months.
