Sean Collins, CEO and co-founder of MBNA Thames Clippers says:

“I’m excited to celebrate Thames Clippers’ 20^th anniversary and showcase how much the business has evolved from when it first started. I couldn’t be more proud to say that from that first day, two decades ago, when we operated with just one vessel, carrying 80 people from Greenland, we now carry 4.2 million passengers annually, and boast a fleet of 19 vessels with an extended network of 22 piers from East to West, plus more in the pipeline.

“This success wouldn’t be possible without the fantastic team we have here at MBNA Thames Clippers. And, of course, the passengers, who over the years have trusted us to give them the best commuting and sightseeing experience in London so, on our 20^th anniversary, we really want to celebrate with them and give something back to say a big thank you.”

Passengers on board during the morning commute hours on the 24^th May could be in with a chance to win one of the incredible raft of 200 prizes. For full details, please visit www.thamesclippers.com/20years .
