摘要：	UK Bus Awards organisers have paid tribute to the late Ian Smith, the retired commercial director of UK Bus Awards and the UK Coach Awards. Smith died suddenly at home on February 2, aged 72. He worked with the awards schemes for 18 years, joining the company in 1999 and serving until his retirement in 2017. Smith was born in Great Milton, near Thame in Oxfordshire in 1950, and buses were in the blood. His father had given up farming to drive buses, and he was the grandson of one of the Smith brothers that traded as the Miltonian Bus Company in the 1930s, before selling to City of Oxford in 1938 and buying farms. He joined the bus industry in 1968 as a company trainee at Midland Red in Birmingham before moving to the newly formed National Travel organisation in 1973, working initially in Birmingham then briefly at Victoria Coach Station before moving to Manchester and the post of Planning Manager for National Express services at National Travel North West.
