TTC Group acquires Business Driver Fleet Risk Management

TTC Group, a leading provider of driver and cycling education in the UK, has strengthened its position by acquiring Business Driver for an undisclosed sum.

Based in Richmond, West London, Business Driver is an existing competitor of TTC within the UK driver training market, offering a range of services to companies aiming to reduce fleet running costs by minimising work-related driver incidents. These include company risk assessments, driver risk assessments, licence checks, online and in-vehicle driver training.

Founded in 1993, TTC offers the national speed awareness courses as well as a full suite of driver risk management services, compliance and driver education courses across the UK. The company has since grown to employ over 100 staff, and handles nearly 500,000 clients across 250 UK training venues per year.

Palatine Private Equity’s Midlands office invested in TTC in July 2017. The firm backed Jim Kirkwood, Managing Director, in a deal that would allow the business to expand its geographical reach and grow the corporate driver training division.

With an established business already operating in the UK, this acquisition solidifies our position in the corporate driver training and risk management market. We were keen to expand our product portfolio and accelerate growth of this division, and Business Driver proved to be an excellent platform for this. The company shares our ambition to provide greater compliance, reduce costs and improve road safety, and we are confident that this acquisition will help us become a vendor of choice across all aspects of future mobility.
