After 20 long years working in insurance Geoff Skerratt from Enfield wanted more freedom and flexibility. He became a BSM instructor – and hasn't looked back since. Geoff first trained with another school, but moved to BSM for his final exams. "I found the standard with BSM far better - so I'm glad I made the switch." He explains. And when things went wrong, BSM were there with back up. "The car broke down an hour before my pupil was due to take their test - but BSM saved the day. They had a new car with us in plenty of time." After four years of being a BSM Driving Instructor, Geoff is pleased with his franchise and likes the fact BSM organise the driving tests, and handle all the payments. As Geoff says: "The service BSM provides is worth its weight in gold. It takes away the hassle of paperwork and admin, so I can simply get on and teach. But I still have the flexibility of running my own business."

With BSM, there's huge scope to move your career forwards - as Mark Giugno has found. Joining BSM five years ago, Mark was determined to be the best. Now he's one of our regional award winners, with no fails in a year, and 26 consecutive passes - winning him a trip to Salzburg. How does he explain his success? "BSM is second to none for its training and support packages." He says. "It's the only training school I know of that gives continued free training once you're fully qualified. And the instructors are just brilliant for advice." Mark really enjoys the ongoing training and has found it really useful - from learning how to relate to people and make students feel comfortable, to how best to run your business. "You can book sessions whenever is convenient for you." He says. "With BSM you're working with professionals who're proud of what they do: teaching people to drive safely on our roads."
