ONE hundred new jobs have been delivered as part of a driving programme in Widnes for B&M.

The course, which could earn participants more than £30,000 a year on successful completion of the scheme, is the only one of its kind in the region.

People taking the part in the Driving Ambition programme will have access to the latest driver training equipment and fast-track facilities to help them manoeuvre through the LGV qualification as quickly as possible.

Distribution director at B&M, Mike Benson said: “Together with our partner Driving Ambition, we have created a tailored induction and training programme to ensure the new drivers get the best start and gain the skills they need to be workplace ready. 

“We have already successfully inducted 35 academy drivers into our business and all going through our training program with further intakes planned this month.”
