Bill Plant Driving School wins national awards
Bill Plant Driving School, based in Ripon, has won two awards at the 2023 Intelligent Instructor Awards.
The organisation was named training provider of the year, as well as national driving school of the year at the UK-wide award-ceremony.
Bill Plant also took home the same awards in 2019 and 2020.
CEO Adam Pumfrey said:
“We are humbled to be recognised as not only the best national driving school for learner drivers, but also the best driving instructor training provider in the UK. For us, both of these awards go hand-in-hand”.
In the national driving school of the year category, Bill Plant overcame two of the biggest names in industry, Red and AA Driving School.
The company now has more than 820 instructors who have access to continuing professional development courses and a dedicated support team.
Mr Pumfrey said:
“Our driving instructor training academy, operated by a team of highly experienced trainers with a relentless focus on quality, has led to the development of a nationwide network of world-class driving instructors”.
