In that time he has done motocross and enduro’s ( too old now though). He has been a Senior Observer in the Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists, RoSPA Gold Advanced Rider as well as DSA Approved and full time Instructor since 2003 after being an aircraft engineer for 28 years. Trevor has vast experience and an attention to detail founded in his engineering days, coupled with a relaxed style. Some people say they were taught without even realising it.
AUDRA
Partner
Audra is the co-owner in Ridesure, she actually learnt to ride and took her test with us in 2003. 3 years later after riding a GSXR400 and a Bandit 400, she qualified to instruct. She became aYamaha Fazer lover during this time having three 600's. She also runs the office and the novice intro’s are her baby. In fact, really she is in charge of the place.

ROY
Instructor
Roy is one of the stalwarts of Ridesure , having been with us since the beginning. He has ridden for the whole of his ( considerably long ) life starting off at 16 in 1974 on his mum’s moped. Progressing at 17 to a Matchless 650 with sidecar. As a hairy beast he rode and owned all sorts, and now as a hairless one he rides a BMW 1250 GS adventure.
Roy is unflappable and great fun as well as very thorough and meticulous. Audra says he has the patience of a saint.
BRYAN
Instructor
Bryan took his full moped test at 16 and then rode for 4 years on motorbikes thinking he had a full licence. After discovering the error of his ways he took his motorbike test and has been riding ever since. Bry joined Ridesure after a career change in 2010 and has helped 1000's of new riders achieve their goals with his adaptive style of teaching. He plays a pivotal role in training new instructors, including our own ex students. Also has a BMW GS.

Both his sons got their licences here, which is how he ended up working for us.

Instructor

Originally down-trained by the fully qualified instructors, Barrie attended Cardington and became a fully qualified CBT & DAS instructor in 2018. His riding experience spans in excess of 35 years, initially messing around on bikes as a kid and passing his full motorcycle test in 1986.

He passed his advanced test in February 2006 and has gone on to become a National Observer, a member of the Training Team and is the current Chair. Barrie regularly organises and leads group rides and has toured extensively in the UK and Europe. Barrie continues to ride for pleasure as well as business. His mantra is that in order to be the very best rider you can be, you have to continually develop your own skills in order to pass these on. Barrie is another BMW rider and his current bike is an S1000XR as well as a Honda CBF1000 he uses for training.
