Driving training provider RED Driver Training has secured a £13 million loan from NatWest to expand its operations in the North East and enhance its retail and B2B offerings. 

The funding will support recruitment of driving instructors, optimise the use of technology and advance the development of the ‘Learn to Drive with RED’ app to improve blended learning for new drivers. 

The Billingham-based firm’s nationwide network includes over 2,000 instructors and a corporate training division offering fleet, health and safety, and compliance courses.
