Grey-Green D884 FYL at Woburn Abbey – 12 Dec 1989 (107-7)

Tuesday 12 December 1989 - Grey-Green Coaches (T Cowie PLC) D884 FYL, a Plaxton Paramount 3500 bodied Volvo B10M new in March 1987, seen at Woburn Abbey having brought guests to the Cowie Interleasing Christmas Lunch. Cowie Interleasing was the Cowie Group’s car fleet leasing and fleet management company with whom I had daily dealings in my job for many years and was also a guest at the event.

The Cowie Group’s main business was connected with cars and they owned numerous countrywide car dealerships. Grey-Green was their first venture into buses and coaches as a result of Cowie’s attraction to and subsequent acquisition of the Ewer Group. The Ewer Group had a car dealership network in the capital although had originated as a coach operator in the early days of coaching.
