Meet the Team
Steve Jackson
“We’ll get you passed!”
Steve is passionate about cars and driving. He’s been a member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists since 2003 and can teach performance related driving, and even held a BARS rally license at one point!
Steve founded Compass ProDrive 15 years ago to enthuse students with the same passion he has for driving.
Steve is a seasoned instructor, with over 300 pupil passes to his name. Steve imparts a wealth of driving knowledge with calm instruction while cracking jokes left and right.
In his spare time, Steve takes his family exploring and brings his boys to games, raising the next generation of star footballers (hopefully!)
Nick Byrne
“Sharing in the joy of pupils who pass their test is a feeling of accomplishment I’ll never tire of!”
Nick loves working with people. He also loves the freedom driving gives him- to go on day trips with his dog, or to squeeze in a gym session whenever he can.
Naturally, he became a fully qualified driving instructor and now helps pupils gain that same freedom!
Nick combines a technically informative approach with a laidback atmosphere to counter pupils’ anxiety.
Most pupils for example, fear reversing, but instructor Nick is “extremely proficient in the art of reversing, be it parallel parking or reversing into a bay!”- and it’s this brilliant confidence that he passes on to his students, readying them for the test.
Clearly it works, because so far, instructor Nick boasts a remarkable 100% first time pass rate!
