AECC PARK AND RIDE - GRAB A LIFT AND A LATTE! 18/04/12

Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) in cooperation with Aberdeen City's bus operator First Aberdeen are delighted to announce the introduction of our "Grab a lift and a latte" campaign.

First Aberdeen's Park and Ride buses now stop outside AECC on the Ellon Road for pick-up, allowing passengers the chance to grab a coffee for their journey into the City Centre and "get the buzz to work!"

Costa Coffee will now be served from AECC's new look Café Concourse. The "Grab a lift and a latte" campaign is aimed at encouraging people to use First Aberdeen's Park & Ride service as  well as providing a great place for local business people and members of the public to meet and  enjoy a great cup of coffee in a welcoming atmosphere.

This campaign sees two of Aberdeen's high-profile businesses working together to provide a unique and enhanced service to commuters travelling by the Park & Ride service.

David Stewart, Managing Director of First Aberdeen, said: "Our Park and Ride services offer high quality, convenient and quick journeys into the city centre avoiding much of the congestion at peak times.  As well as the free wifi we offer on Park and Ride services, I'm pleased that as a result of our partnership with the AECC customers can now take on board a coffee as they prepare for a day's work."

Brian Horsburgh, AECC's Managing Director, commented: "We are delighted to open our Café Concourse to a wider audience.  By having a joint approach with First Aberdeen we hope to provide an improved commute-to-work experience with the addition of a great coffee en-route."
