During this time I completed the Bachelor of Financial Services by night and was awarded my degree from UCD in 1997.  In June 1998, I joined Dorgans Mini Coaches as Accounts Manager/Financial Director and obtained my International Certificate of Competence in Road Passenger Transport in 1999.  I worked full time in the business until 2006 whereupon I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Education at UCD and I now divide my time between assisting with the management of Dublin Mini Coaches & Chauffeur Drive and lecturing.  My hobbies include pitch n putt and pilates.

Manager

Melissa Pau, General Manager incorporating all Accounts Administration

Born in France in 1982, I completed a BTS Personal Assistant Diploma at Advancia School of Commerce, Paris, in 2004.   I was then selected to participate in the Leonardo Da Vinci programme and I undertook a six months training placement with Dublin Mini Coaches in order to obtain foreign work experience and improve my English. When my placement ended, I was offered a full time Accounts Assistant role with Dublin Mini Coaches where I stayed for 1 year before returning Paris for family reasons whereupon I worked with International Law and Banking firms for two years as a Bilingual Assistant. However, having really enjoyed my time with Dublin Mini Coaches the opportunity to return to work with them came up in July 2008 and I was employed in the Operations Department for 1 year as Booking & Reservations Executive.  In May 2009, I moved back to the Accounts Department and  I now look after all the Accounts Administration for the business.  I was recently promoted to General Manager and I now also assist the Directors with the overall running of the business on a daily basis.  My hobbies include listening to music, reading, drawing and having fun with my daughter.

Executive's

Paul Holland, Operations Executive

Born in Kingston Upon Hull, England in 1981, I completed 11 G.C.S.Es and moved to live and work in Leeds, West Yorkshire as part of the administration team of a city-based Solicitors. In 2007, I moved to Ireland to be closer to family and was based in Westmeath whereupon I went back to college to study various FETAC Level 5 computer packages such as SAGE, Web Design and Desktop Publishing.  In May 2009 I moved to Dublin and joined Dublin Mini Coaches as Operations Executive at a time of significant change within the business due to the introduction of shift work, however my transport industry experience from my interest in Equestrian Sport and my fathers occupation as a long distance haulier contributed greatly to me settling into the new role. My hobbies include going to the gym, horse riding and socialising with my partner and friends.
