My name is Matt (owner/Trainer of Exceed Safety) I have been in the Roadside/Recovery industry for over 15 years with consistent hands on experience as well as being an industry trainer for many years and previously being General manager of a Recovery Company.

We can come to you anywhere in the UK
We also hold regular courses at west midlands venues which are available for anyone to attend - Please contact for dates & availability.
Courses delivered at your premises means you avoid extra travel and accommodation costs and allows the trainee to be trained on the equipment they will be using in their daily work,
avoiding the need for further familiarisation training.
A quiet room, outside area and recovery/service vehicle will need to be available,
Nothing fancy needed, just safe & quiet areas for training to take place and a suitable vehicle, we take care of the rest.
We understand it can sometimes be a challenge to have the space and allow for the downtime of employee's, If you get in touch we can work with you to make arrangements which help you complete the training with as little disruption to your business as possible.
