The Vikings have been extremely fortunate to secure a wide range of partners from a number of different industries for the 2011 season.
Next to be unveiled is Insight 2 Drive, a company with a strong presence in the Widnes, Runcorn and wider areas, who began trading under the aforementioned name in 2007 and have since gone from strength to strength, with 10 fully qualified male and female instructors on their books, who are all licensed and have had full criminal records bureaux checks.
Kathy Higgins who founded Insight 2 Drive is not only a grade 6 ORDIT trainer, but also the current Secretary of the Institute of Master Tutors of Driving and one of the most respected and qualified driver trainers in the North West.
After attending a recent Widnes Vikings Business Club seminar at the Stobart Stadium Halton, Kathy explains further how the opportunity to work alongside the Vikings came about and why it was too good to refuse; “We’ve had a connection with the club for a number of years though our Widnes instructors and we have always been rugby fans so it seemed like a natural progression.
“As fans, we are keen to do our bit and back the clubs’ bid for a hopeful return into the Super League competition and by joining forces with them, it gives us a great opportunity to help the players, the academy and the fans either pass their Driving Test or to become more advanced, skilled and considerate drivers.
“As the saying goes, if you enjoy something you will do it better, and I offer you my personal guarantee that you will enjoy your training with us.
"I simply want people to not only enjoy driving but enjoy driving safely for life.
“Whether you need to pass quickly, or if you are a nervous learner driver, we can help you achieve your goals. We are also offering a 5% discount to all Vikings fans.”
