 "We are grateful to Gurminder Bedi for his exceptional service to Blue Bird. Over nearly a decade, Gurminder drew from his in-depth knowledge of the automotive industry and financial expertise to contribute to Blue Bird’s continued leadership in student transportation.

 We will miss Gurminder and wish him success in his future endeavours."

Reflecting on his time with Blue Bird, Bedi stated:

 "I thank Blue Bird and my fellow board members for the constructive collaboration and friendship over the years. 

“Blue Bird is a great company and a leader in the school bus industry, and I am looking forward to watching its continued success."
