From the winner

We caught up with Paul to ask him about his win.

Generally shocked 🤣🤣, very humbled but nice to know that all the hard work I’ve put into my own personal development has paid off. I’ve always tried to make my lessons fun and let my clients have a go, learn and develop in their own way. I’m completely shocked and genuinely lost for words.

Highly Commended

This year the Highly Commended award goes to Debbie Hudson. A well known instructor recognised for her dedication to her pupils and her commitment to road safety.
