Here’s what our happy drivers had to say about our services:
Just like to say a big thank you for a very enjoyable 2 days ADR & PDP refresher course. Matt and Sam were on top of their game. Especially liked the endless chocolate biscuits and Mugs of tea. Matt sure knows his stuff. Thanks guys.
Paul gave a good understanding of the responsibility of a locomotive shunter driver. Answered all questions. Help was never far away when needed. Thanks for your time.
