Driver training 

We aim to promote the benefits of a proactive approach to injury and crash reduction through the availability of driver education programmes that suit both recreational and professional drivers.  

We support the work of advanced driving groups such as the Institute of Advanced Motorists and RoSPA advice on driver training is available to all local organisations who wish to improve the driving standards of their employees.

  • Savings in fleet running costs including maintenance and fuel
  • Reduced environmental impact upon the local and wider community leading to improved quality of life for all
  • Enhanced environmental profile
  • Reduced health and safety problems
  • Fulfilling health and safety obligations
  • Dissemination of information beyond the immediate client base
