Dulson Training opens new Wrexham site for driver training specialists

A driver training specialist has relocated to a new site in Wrexham – creating a more accessible base for learners from North Wales and
the North West of England

Dulson Training’s new home in Llay will deliver more efficient and effective training packages in the area.

The relocation is the culmination of a five-year growth plan delayed by Covid, with the company saying it is now correctly positioned to make the move to better accommodate its learners.

Dulson Training already has established training sites in Shrewsbury and Telford along with new sites secured in Ludlow on the Herefordshire border and in Willenhall, West Midlands.

The firm started delivering licence acquisition training in Wrexham just before the first Covid lockdown and, since restrictions eased, has had a successful term working in the area – initially using a satellite site in Oswestry, and now from Llay following the decision to move the operation to a better location.

Steve Dulson, of Dulson Training, said: “Our new site is only a few minutes from the DVSA driving test centre at Llay, Wrexham.

“We have access to 3a practice and testing facilities and can now offer the full licence acquisition training experience from a more central location.

“Many of our learners are from Wrexham but we also noticed a high number were from a little further into the North West, including Widnes, Deeside, The Wirral, Chester and south Manchester. Our new site is on the North side of Wrexham and is much more accessible for learners in the North West.

“But even more important, the new location will prove more effective for training courses with every learner starting and finishing their driving lessons in the heart of the Wrexham test routes, reducing travel time to and from Oswestry by an hour per lesson.

“Although this driving time is still beneficial time behind the wheel, the quality of that time will be significantly improved with that hour spent on test routes.”

Mr Dulson continued:  “Driver training has seen a growth in popularity in the last two years as everyone has been trying to catch up from the Covid backlog.

“Levels of service are starting to return to what we would term ‘normal’ and business as usual can resume with some affected plans reinstated.

“We are excited about this change and the improvements it will make to our learners’ experience.

“For many people a career in driving is a dream but there can be barriers funding the process and finding a reliable training provider. We are able to offer finance packages and have access to funding for some individuals to complete their training.

“We are a National Register of LGV Instructors training and exam centre, have been awarded an Armed Forces Covenant award for our services to ex-forces personnel – who we have supported as learners and employees in full-time instructor roles, are on the Register of Approved Training Providers and have our own DVSA customer test sites in Shrewsbury, Telford and Ludlow.
