Driver safety specialist makes Fast Track 100

Berkshire-based driver safety and education specialist DriveTech has made it into the annual Sunday Times Fast Track 100 league table.

Although DriveTech ranks at only 89th place on its first appearance, the company is rubbing shoulders with some well known organisations and is the only driver education provider in the list.

“Whilst we are proud that our various driver education products and services are influencing driver behaviour in a meaningful way, we have never lost sight of the fact that we are a commercial organisation that has to grow to allow investment in new products, services and infrastructure,” says chairman Chris Howell. “We try to anticipate customer demand rather than merely react to it. Staying ahead of the game costs money but our customers, be they the many police authorities we provide workshops for or those responsible for the behaviour of business drivers, appreciate our pro-active approach. It’s a major factor in our excellent customer retention rate.”

DriveTech now operates some 28 different driver education workshop or remedial training schemes for various police forces, and provides a comprehensive range of driver risk mitigation services for hundreds of organisations that run vehicle fleets. It also has a learner driver brand, DriveTech Advantage, which uses the highest qualified instructors in the land to deliver a curriculum which goes way beyond the norm, with the intention of turning out the risk-averse drivers of the future.

DriveTech’s strategically diverse approach to driver education means that one in every 100 drivers in the UK has now had experience of the company’s products or services.
