When I left school, I went straight into a retail job working up to commercial management role for 18 years. I learnt a variety of skills throughout my progression and a huge proportion of my job role was coaching and developing people. I really enjoyed this side of my job, however in 2020 I was expecting my first child, and I needed a new challenge.

From when I first passed my driving test, I have always remembered my driving instructor and how great she made me feel and always thought “what an amazing job that must be”. In 2020 during the restrictions, furlough and time to really think about life I took the leap and gave it a go. I must say it was the best decision ever and I love my job.

The team at Chilled were very helpful, answered any questions about the job and started me in the right direction as a PDI. They are always at the end of the phone to give you hands-on feedback and coaching.

I also love the fact I’m the only chilled instructor currently in the Ipswich/Felixstowe/Woodbridge area and getting that chance to promote and hopefully in the future expand the chilled brand in Suffolk.

I really enjoy meeting new people and working with pupils to develop their driving skills to make pupils safe and knowledgeable on the road.

Worked at chilled since July 2021

What the pupils say about Liam:

“I had my lessons with Liam in Felixstowe, I always went into my lessons looking forward to them and always had fun whilst learning on my lessons. Liam is a very lovely instructor who always made lessons fun and relaxed as well as educational which helped me to pass my test first time today. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
