Rod Cuthbert commented, “I've known Managing Director Rod Bishop and the team at Jayride since their early days, and have admired their ability to stay focused on a specific sector of the travel market. They are attempting to solve what is a difficult problem for travelers, and they're clearly making real progress, notwithstanding the temporary challenges presented by COVID-19.
