About Me

I started in this industry in 2023 after the birth of our first child Chester. I work as a franchisee with Bill Plant at the moment with a view of running my own independent business in 2025. 

In July 2024 I switched from teaching manual to only teaching automatic due to the changing needs and the potential ban on diesel and petrol cars in 2030. 

I really enjoy this role and see it as a privilege to share a persons journey from start to finish and that as you have considered me to be able to help you ahead of others that I am respectful and grateful for that.

I was given a driving lesson in 1994 when I was 18 as I was looking to buy a car. I put the car in reverse and not first gear, reversed towards a hedge and came very close to going into a lake. 

Believing my fears and anxieties I did not do another driving lesson for 22 years.

In 2017 I passed my driving test at Chadderton and believe that driving offers so much in life and my love for driving and exploring still excites me now.

I worked on the railway for 21 years both with Virgin Trains and then Avanti West Coast. My final role involved working at Stockport station including working as a train despatcher which involves a lot of focus on safety and awareness.

I also worked as a Level 2 Health and Safety Rep with a range of qualifications and I also supported the company throughout the pandemic creating safe places to work and effective risk assessments at a variety of locations.
