Hedingham Omnibuses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hedingham Omnibuses is an Essex bus company founded shortly after WWI by Aubrey Ernest Letch, trading under his own name.
Due to Letch's bad health illness, it was sold and renamed Hedingham and District Omnibuses in 1960. Since then company has grown through a mixture of organic growth and purchases of other companies. These include Blackwells, Earls Colne, C & R Coach, Little Tey, Jennings of Ashen, Kemps Coaches, Clacton-on-Sea, W Norfolk and Sons, Nayland, Wents of Boxford, Freemans Coaches and G W Osborne, Tollesbury.
