I’m a retired Fire Service Officer, with over 28 years’ experience in driving and instructing on all categories of vehicles.

For 15 years I have been responsible for managing driver training standards for airside and public road driving, adhering to road traffic legislation (road safety act 2006) and health and safety guidance (health and safety at work act 1974, PUWER 1998, Driving at work guidance).

I have been involved with the development and running of Blue light response training and standards for all emergency services.

Rich's passion for emergency response driving was infectious, creating a positive learning environment. His multifaceted teaching methods kept the material fresh and stimulated active participation. With a wealth of experience, Rich translated complex concepts effectively, making the content accessible to all. He contextualized the information with personal anecdotes and case studies, adding practicality. Rich's professionalism, attentiveness, and personalized feedback ensured our progress. I left feeling empowered and well-equipped. I highly recommend Rich and his course for those seeking a skilled and enjoyable learning experience in emergency response driving.

Had two weeks with Richard, completing emergency response driver training. His expertise in the subject was impressive and very helpful.

Throughout the course under his tuition I was able to develop existing skills and improve my driving not just in response, but also roadcraft for day to day motoring.

He was professional and direct with feedback, encouraging peer review and self analysis.

I would highly recommend Richard to my colleagues and other services/agencies seeking a driver trainer.

Really good level of instruction. I am already an instructor but I needed reassessing by way of carrying out this course. I learnt loads through good experiences on public roads and on the airfield. Rich even helped with my training recording systems and was able to work along side me to improve them.
Cheers Rich, really good.

It was great to have that opportunity to develop other instructors and give you my experience on ERD driving as well as teach different techniques and teaching skills. Great week at BHX fire & Rescue 👍
