For the right business

Work as a driving instructor near Shenfield?

The seat is yours to claim, and only one. EBF will only have one driving instructor, so every driving tuition enquiry our members hear about comes straight to you. Shenfield is only about 5 minutes from our Thursday meeting along the A1023.

Where the work comes from

Why introductions work for a driving instructor

The warmest introductions don’t often come from cold marketing. Instead, they come from people who regularly talk to learner drivers and nervous returning drivers – often around a 17th birthday or a failed test. That’s why car dealers, insurance brokers and sixth-form schools are such strong allies for any driving instructor.

How our meetings work

We meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, so it’s done before the working day gets going. Each week you get at least a minute to present your services – far more than some other networking groups allow. Outside the meeting, you’ll book 1-2-1s to learn who makes a good referral, and we have a strong social side too – summer BBQs, Halloween events and charity challenges.

Questions

Does the driving instructor have to be based in Shenfield?

Not at all. EBF members travel in from all over Essex, so a trusted driving instructor nearby is welcome.

Do I have to join after my first visit?

No. Visiting costs nothing, with no pressure to sign up. Join us one Thursday, meet the members and decide for yourself.
