  12. Phil Spick, Travel Plan Manager, Shop Direct Group “Commuting can cost some drivers a lot of money out of their own pocket... the cost of commuting can eventually drive some people to leave the company. Promoting the smarter driving course to them as a cost saver has improved our staff retention.”

  13. Cerise Bradford, Performance Manager, South Cambridgeshire DC “Drivers were sceptical as to the claims made about fuel savings averaging 15%. But they took the instructors’ advice on board and the feedback was superb with drivers saying they learned a lot, particularly about looking further along the road to anticipate what’s ahead.”

  14. Scott Jones, Head of Facilities & Environment, Hampshire NHS Trust “Smarter driver training has been easy to implement and the first round has seen an impressive 20% reduction in fuel consumption. We plan to put between 200 - 500 employees through the course so the potential financial savings are massive for us and our staff”
