CLT Express Acquires Busy Bee Coach and Bus Tours

Columbia, S.C. — CLT Express Livery of Charlotte, N.C., a leading ground transportation provider in the Carolinas, recently acquired Busy Bee Coach and Bus Tours. The vital Columbia market was in need of a full-service chauffeured transportation coach and mini bus operator, and CLT welcomes the chance to serve clients in this area. Kristen Carroll of The LMC Group brokered the sale, making the transition effortless and seamless.

Busy Bee Coach and Bus Tours has been in operation for well over 20 years, proudly serving North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Office manager Jackie Williams will remain in the same position, ensuring a smooth transition as Busy Bee joins the CLT Express family. James Canady will be the operations manager.

In January 2016, CLT Express Livery will be rebranded and introduced as SC Coach. Laura Canady, also a board director of the National Limousine Association, has named Lauren Carter as the new office manager of SC Coach. Carter has been with the company since CLT Express Livery bought Aiken Limousine in 2010.

CLT Express and SC Express are owned by Jeff and Laura Canady. Founded in 2000 with one sedan, as of 2015 CLT has acquired four companies and currently operates a combination fleet of over 50 vehicles and 40 employees. With their diverse fleet and experienced and highly trained personnel, they cover the North and South Carolina area, providing excellent service to their clients. In the future, owners Jeff and Laura Canady plan to grow the physical operation with a nine-acre complex minutes away from uptown Charlotte and Charlotte International Airport. This expansion will make their site the largest chauffeured transportation facility from Washington, D.C., to Atlanta.

“We at CLT Express Livery are appreciative of our local and national partners in our industry, which allow our company to continue to grow while giving 100 percent to our clients with internal and external customer support now and well into the future,” said Jeff Canady.
