Driven by purpose. Grounded in values.

Founded over fifteen years ago as ABC Executive Coach Hire, we’ve grown into Anderson Black Executive Travel—combining ambition, care and a family-first ethos to serve operators and private clients across Scotland and beyond.

In 2024, Gemma Anderson Black took the reins, leading our rebrand, spearheading a fleet upgrade to Euro 6-compliant vehicles and deepening our sustainability commitments—yet never losing the personal touch that first won our clients’ trust. 

That same year, we reinforced our family values by becoming an accredited Living Wage Employer and signing the Armed Forces Covenant—because supporting our people and community matters as much as delivering exceptional journeys.

Most recently, we were proud to receive the Green Tourism Award, recognising our ongoing commitment to cleaner travel and responsible operations across Scotland.

Meet Gemma

Gemma leads from the front—literally. A hands-on owner and driver, she embodies Anderson Black’s ethos of hard work, integrity, and attention to detail. With a degree in Business Management and Entrepreneurship, she combines sharp strategic insight with genuine Scottish warmth. Whether she’s negotiating new partnerships, overseeing vehicle maintenance, or greeting guests at dawn, her aim is the same: to deliver a coach-hire experience that’s professional, punctual, and unmistakably Scottish.

“My philosophy is to prioritise relationship with our customers, provide a personal service, and to do so with integrity. Every decision we make is rooted in one goal: to deliver exceptional value while keeping our customers at the centre of everything we do.”
— Gemma Anderson Black, Founder & CEO

Gemma adds, “I want to thank you, our customers, for trusting us. We’re proud to serve you. Some of you have become friends over the years—we appreciate each of you, and it’s a pleasure to work with you. With a great team whose continuity and local expertise set us apart, I look forward to many more years of shared journeys.”
