Brief History of HMC

1986: The prelude of His Majesty Coach.

The history of HMC starts with the owner,Tom Brown (Tommy), back in 1986. Tommy was a frequent passenger of entertainer coaches in his early 20’s as he traveled in them often as a musician for a band called The Spurrlows. Since he was traveling on The Spurrlows bus so much, he managed to developed a friendship the band’s bus driver. On one particular day of travel, Tommy had the urge of wanting to take the band’s bus for spin. Before this could happen, he would have to persuade the band’s driver to allow Tommy to get behind the wheel. After some wheeling and dealing, Tommy and the band’s bus driver waged a bet. The bet was, if Tommy could eat 10 Snickers bar in less than an hour, then he would grant Tommy permission to take the bus for a short spin. Unfortunately, Tommy was only able to put down 9 Snickers bars and suffered a minor sugar coma afterwards. After he recovered, the driver was so amazed that Tommy was able to put 9 candy bars down in less than an hour, so he granted him permission to drive the band’s bus anyway. This single occurring event was the prelude of His Majesty Coach. From this moment on, you can say the rest was history. You can actually say that this company was started, because of a Snicker’s bar.

1987 – 1992: Tommy drives buses for a living.

Tommy’s fascination with buses grew and in 1987 he went and got his chauffeur license and began driving band buses for a living. For the next 5 years (87 – 92), Tommy worked for several famous musicians as a bus driver as he drove them on tours across North America while earning an honest living. Over the years, Tommy saved his money and eventually earned enough money to purchase his first Charter Tour Bus and established His Majesty Coach.

1993: 1st Bus Purchased – HMC is Established.

His Majesty Coach was officially established in 1993 as a charter bus company. For the first decade since our inception, HMC primarily transported large groups of people around Atlanta and the South Eastern United States in our large 57 passenger charter buses. HMC transported all kinds of large groups such as high school and college sports teams,  student field trips, church groups, corporate shuttle events, and pretty much anyone needing a large 57 passenger bus.

2003: His Majesty Coach adds entertainer coaches to fleet.
