Ian Fegan, Director of Communications and Visitor Experience at City of Wolverhampton Council said: “We are delighted that National Express West Midlands is on board for Wolverhampton Pride 2023.
“We want as many people as possible to enjoy this year’s event and be part of a day when we are all able to come together to celebrate, honour and show our support for the LGBT+ community. Now, with National Express West Midlands’ involvement, we can continue to strive to meet that objective for the City.”
Rachel James, UK HR Director at National Express, said: "We stand with our colleagues, our customers and our communities to promote inclusion and equality and we're delighted to be working with Wolverhampton Pride's ‘Festival For Everyone’ rooted right here in the heart of our community.
“I’d encourage everyone attending Wolverhampton Pride to hop on board with us. We've recently extended our £2 single ticket offer, so you can let us do the driving and save those pounds for the party."
