Road safety honour for Shropshire Husband and Wife team
A husband and wife team from Shropshire, whose aim is to contribute to the campaign to cut road deaths and injuries in the UK, have been honoured by the Institute of Road Safety Officers (IRSO).
Graham and Jenny Wynn, who run the driver training company the TTC Group, have both been awarded Honorary Fellowships of the national organisation.
They are pictured receiving their awards from Colin Pettener, a Fellow of IRSO, on behalf of the Institute’s chairman Darren Divall.
“Graham and Jenny openly recognise and acknowledge the valuable contribution made by staff and trainers at the TTC Group,” said Colin.
“But it is their guidance, wisdom and passion for road safety which is paramount in ensuring that the aims of the organisation are not only met, but exceeded.”
Graham, TTC Group chairman, who received the OBE in 1997 for services to road safety, is responsible for driving forward TTC’s involvement in the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme providing an educational alternative to prosecution for some road traffic offences as well as speed awareness courses for motorists driving a few miles over the speed limit.
Jenny is MD of the TTC Group, and a pioneer of the drink drive education scheme which has gained global recognition.
The TTC Group is the UK’s largest provider of driver education courses and its HQ in Telford, Shropshire, was officially opened by the Princess Royal.
“It is a great honour to be recognised by such a respected organisation as IRSO. We want to thank the Institute for the honour and dedicate it to all our hardworking staff. We all care about contributing to reducing road deaths and injuries and educating drivers is one way of achieving that goal,” said Jenny, who runs courses throughout Shropshire in Telford, Shrewsbury, Whitchurch, Bridgnorth, Oswestry, and Ludlow.
