I just passed my Class 2 lorry license with Paul, and I couldn’t be happier! From start to finish, Paul was patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly, gave great tips for the test, and made me feel confident behind the wheel. If you’re looking to pass your HGV test, I highly recommend training with Paul. Also not to forget Simon who helped too. Thanks again for all your help!
