Red driving school including The Red Instructor Training College have gone into liquidation and are looking for a buyer for the business. This apparently happened on Tue 16th Feb.
Red currently employs around 400 people across 3 offices. Also up for grabs is the Red Instructor Training and Red Fleet. The Red Instructor training has 22 instructor colleges nationwide and 2 offices one in Liverpool and one Billingham, near Middlesbrough.
I was speaking to a Red instructor and one of their current trainees and found out they did not even know! What a way to find out you are out of a job or that all the money you have invested in training may be lost. This is why Insight 2 Drive only asks you to pay as you go, so you don’t have to invest in all your training at once.
I also feel sorry for the learner drivers with Red as it must be very upsetting to wonder if your instructor is going to turn up or not.
