DRIVING THE DREAM

摘要

This must surely be one of the landmark bus books of 2009, the warts-and-all autobiography of Bob Dunn, who founded Dunn-Line in December 1984, expanded it and turned it into a PLC listed on the Alternative Investment Market 20 years later before selling it to Veolia Transport in April 2006.rnThe last 200 pages take the form of a handbook of management theory, offering his tips to potential entrepreneurs considering starting, managing and expanding their own business ventures, but the first half is packed with the story not only of Dunn-Line and his family's subsequent bus and coach ventures but also of his industry career before that, working for the National Bus Company and Skill's of Nottingham.
