All these companies are linked. Excel, Burtons Coaches, Stephensons, Network Colchester, MK Metro, Tellings-Golden Miller. Not sure how much now but they link through their Directors/Senior management team

They are all Arriva companies.

Those except Stephensons and MK Metro are part of the Tellings Golden Miller group which is an Arriva subsidary.
