The approach

Aided by one-to-one interviews with the CalMac management team:
• Delve beyond CalMac’s picture postcard image to reveal a much relied upon lifeline service
• Highlight the challenges of providing this lifeline service in such a geographically disparate area and the solutions being deployed
• Demonstrate in facts and figures the boost to passenger satisfaction and bookings as a result of the advances made.

Key outcomes

CalMac were named Scottish Public Transport Operator of the Year – a first for the company and sector – generating positive coverage in key local and regional titles, and raising awareness within key government circles.
