ESCOT's President, Brian Scott; Vice-President, Pam Calixto and Board Chairman, Lew Scott were presented with International Motor Coach Group's "Operator of the Year" award. The announcement took place at the IMG's 2012 Strategic Alliance Meeting in Minneapolis, MN, August 9, 2012.
The crowd of IMG shareholders, suppliers and staff heralded the announcement with the entry of gorgeous new Prevost H3-45 coach. ESCOT's owners and staff were expecting delivery of 4 new Prevosts but had no idea one of them had been re-routed to Minnesota or that it would be wrapped in scenes of its new base, Tampa/St. Petersburg. Unlike ESCOT's traditional white scheme, coach 8686 sports photos of landmarks around the Tampa Bay area. However, the international flags are still a prominent part of the scheme!
