Steve is a much loved member of the Camrider Team.  He is a dedicated biker originally from New Zealand and with a massive passion for motorbikes.  He currently owns 22 which he keeps in pristine condition and lovingly polishes on a weekly basis (we hope) .  

Steve has proved to be a real hit with our customers who have consistently praised his calm, patient and encouraging instructing manner.  On a recent DVSA inspection he also flew through with flying colours and we can genuinely say we are proud to have him onboard as a key member of our team. 

As well as being a bike nut Steve is fully qualified as a computers systems engineer and we will be relying on him to get the 4g wifi running up at the Bedford site.

Jo is the Office Manager and another one of our friendly booking staff. Jo started off learning to ride by taking a CBT with Camrider, and a couple of years later she jumped at a chance to come and join the Camrider office team. Jo is a very efficient administrator who never lets a test date slip by. You will be very impressed by how she takes care of all the test details and makes sure the DSA are informed every step of the way. Jo has a great knowledge of motorcycle training. Combine this with her degree in public relations and we know you will find her a great friend when it comes to booking you in for a course.

Dan has been with Camrider for over 14 years and knows the booking process inside out. We all look to Dan to resolve complex law issues and on how best to schedule courses so they work perfectly for our customers. A key skill you will find with Dan is his attention to detail in making sure every aspect of your training package flows smoothly and connects at the right time. Definitely a very safe pair of hands. Dan also manages all the administration for our London Branch.

As well as working with Camrider Dan has become quite skilled in the art of fencing and you can find him battling down an opponent at the end of a foil on the evenings.
