After teaching my son to drive to a higher standard, he was keen and wanted to progress knowing I was a member of IAM he was inspired and booked his IAM training unknown to me. While he was training I was approached by NELE to join the group, really enjoyed passing on my skills to my son and realised I could and wanted to give back to IAM, so my progression started with NELE.
