Dyson's rides high after bumpy start with Cobb & Co - Business - Business (579 words)
The whole bus industry was watching when outer-suburban Melbourne operator LC Dyson's Bus Services bought the ailing Cobb and Co charter coach business in 2003.
Part of Dyson's rapid expansion in the past decade was the acquisition of the coaches, not the business, of APT, and this exposure to the charter business gave directors the confidence to take on the Cobb deal, Mr Dyson said.
Dyson's doubled revenue to about $80 million a year in the past five years thanks to acquisitions including Bell Street bus company and a 50 per cent stake in East West.
