Automatic tuition

posted on 4 of April 2006, at 10.01 am

There has been a growing demand for Automatic car tuition for some time. 

We are pleased to announce our first automatic car will be based in Folkestone and operated by Robbie Wilde and Tony Simcock. 

Both instructors have experience of teaching automatics and look forward to the extra job satisfaction of being involved in helping this particular section of clients. Sometimes they are older, more nervous or maybe just in a hurry to get a licence! 

We want to thank Bryan Coward, our local associate instructor, to whom we have passed many customers over the years for the excellent job he has done with them and we wish him well with his retirement.

£60,000 schools sponsorship

posted on 1 of November 2005, at 6.05 pm

The Big Red L Company is pleased to announce a deal made with secondary schools throughout Kent. As part of our marketing budget we have now offered 200 schools 30 hours of lessons for them to give away to students as incentives or prizes. Worth £600 this is a significant contribution to the life of each school.

The take up has been unsurprisingly brisk, with many schools also booking in the free presentations on 'starting to drive' and 'getting your first car'.

Tony Simcock (pictured right) Director of The Big Red L Company said "The presentations are a lot of fun to do, and I'm just hoping I can have a positive effect on the students' attitudes to driving"
