From The Imberbus Event Guide 2025:
Andrew Wickham, MBE.
Andrew was a legendary bus manager, who sadly passed away in May 2025. Despite a long illness, he was working right up to his death; he wouldn’t have done anything else. Other obituaries have described his illustrious career, latterly as Managing Director of Go-Ahead South Coast, but Andrew was also an enthusiast, for buses, bus services, the people who staffed them, and the people and communities that they served.
And he was a great supporter of Imberbus, both through the companies he ran, and personally. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was done willingly and with a smile, both from him and the people he led. Last year he was driving the Wilts & Dorset VR, with Paul Clifton as his conductor, at Imberbus, as normal; but that was the last bus he drove in service.
We send our condolences to his family, Alison, Sam and Emma, and to his wider family, friends and colleagues as well. We will miss him; he was a great friend, a local hero, a legend. RIP Andrew.
