About employer

Go North West was created on 2nd June 2019, when The Go-Ahead Group took over operations at the historic Queens Road bus depot in the heart of Manchester. Since then, we’ve worked hard to embed ourselves firmly within the communities we serve. In Bolton and Wigan, we operate the first two large depots to become part of the Greater Manchester Bee Network. We also provide school transport and local services for Transport for Greater Manchester in the Bury, Manchester, Stockport and Tameside areas. Go North West is part of the Go-Ahead Group, one of five major groups involved in running buses in the UK. The Go-Ahead philosophy is for each subsidiary company to run as an autonomous business, in tune with the local market.
