Stagecoach challenge offers double-decker thrills

Paintball company Bedlam is planning to drive its growth with a couple of old buses

A chance meeting between Stagecoach founder Brian Souter and Roman Rock, managing director of Bedlam, has led to development of its newest attraction — the Stagecoach stand-off. Rock met Souter at a recent Entrepreneurial Exchange event and asked if he would be willing to recycle some old buses for a new game.

Rock said: “Two teams engage in a fierce battle sheltered by two Bedlam Stagecoach hideouts before attempting to navigate their way through a speedball arena.”

Rock started Bedlam in 1990 and has four venues throughout Scotland and hosts more than 20,000 players a year.
