People

The Big Lemon started in 2007 when Tom Druitt and Graeme Simpson, two friends from childhood, got together to see if they could design a bus service that was affordable, sustainable and lots of fun. In late 2006 Tom organised a public meeting in a Brighton pub and a number of local people came and discussed the idea, and how it could work in the Brighton area.

Now, in 2011 the Company has a good team of people from many different backgrounds operating bus services, private hire coaches and a waste oil collection service. The Company is a Community Interest Company and is organised with a Board of Directors, a Management Team and an elite team of highly trained professional drivers.
