Skills Motor Coaches originated in Radford, Nottingham in 1919. It became a limited company in 1958.
Founded by Arthur Skill, the current managing director and financial director’s grandfather, began by using his only lorry to collect fish from the early morning market and for light haulage during the day. Soon, he began carrying local miners to Bestwood Colliery, and in 1921 he purchased a Crossley Charabanc -Â Skills‘ first true bus.
