About me
Thank you for taking the time to visit my LDC website. I am a fully qualified Government Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), I love driving and am passionate about road safety.

A little about myself: I was born just outside Melton and have lived in the area all my life, meaning that I have built up a good level of local knowledge. I live with my wife and daughters as well as my wife's parents in the north of the town. We also share our home with our dog and 2 cats.

After leaving school I worked over 32 years for a local transport company, starting as a driver, covering many miles within Europe enabling me to visit lots of countries before becoming a planner, then Transport Manager and finally Operations Director. During this time I spent 12 years volunteering as a Special Constable with Leicestershire Police helping to Police the town and surrounding area. I enjoy helping people and currently, while training am driving a minibus taking children to and then back home from Birchwood Special School. Outside of work I love following Leicester Tigers rugby team, enjoy mountain biking and love to travel enjoying holidays and breaks both here in the UK as well as abroad.

I decided to train to become a driving instructor because I wanted a job with real satisfaction and there is nothing better than seeing someone pass their test first time. I was also always being told by friends and work colleagues that I was a calm and relaxed type of person and that I would make a great Driving Instructor. It was while working in transport that I found that I had a passion for coaching people and helping them to reach their full potential.

I have been fortunate to be trained by LDC in the latest adult coaching and training techniques so you can be assured the training I give will be of the highest standard, the emphasis being customer/student centred. It’s about making the lessons an enjoyable experience so that you learn in a safe comfortable environment at a pace that suits you, and one where you won’t be afraid to ask questions or feel intimidated.

I chose to work with LDC because everybody is different and the unique LD System allows for flexibility in lessons. My aim is to make every lesson enjoyable and as productive as possible. The LD System is structured in such a way that it facilitates this method of learning and helps me to do this more effectively.

Lessons are always conducted in a calm, friendly and relaxed manner as I firmly believe in making pupils feel at ease during lessons.
