Chairman -
Derrick Holden |
Derrick’s
lifelong interest in motors and motor sport led to his taking an
apprenticeship on leaving school with the local Vauxhall dealers. During
this time he was voted top national apprentice of the year and was one
of the first two men to pass both the Association of Motor Industries
and Institute of Road Transport Engineers’ final exam in the same year.
After progressing to Service Manager and a spell as an HGV driver, he
put his considerable and wide ranging knowledge to use in training
others, and now is contracted to teach R.E.M.E. (Royal Electrical and
Mechanical Engineers or as Derrick himself puts it –Rough Engineering
Made Easy), specialising both in transmissions and the latest all
singing all dancing M.A.N. truck. His motor sport experience includes
training as a scrutineer and preparing motor bikes for the race track. Derrick was
elected Chairman of the Group in 2006 |
