Meet Our Exceptional Instructors

The Elite Driving Team!

Comprising both male and female instructors, we offer flexibility and tailored driving lessons, ensuring each student receives the attention they deserve.

Clark

My name is Clark Blakemore, and I am the proud owner of Elite Drive, a business built on discipline, experience, and a lifelong passion for driving. Before founding Elite Drive, I served 12 years in the British Army, a career that took me across the globe and shaped me both professionally and personally.

During my military service, I gained extensive experience and qualifications across a wide range of vehicles—from tanks and fuel tankers to high-spec military-grade drones. This hands-on expertise taught me not only precision and safety but also adaptability under pressure—skills that I now bring to my civilian career and business.

My goal with Elite Drive is to offer a high standard of driving instruction and transport services, underpinned by the values I carried with me throughout my military career: reliability, commitment, and excellence.

Outside of work, I’m a passionate supporter of Sunderland Football Club, a team that reflects my roots and resilience. Whether on the road or in the stands, I bring the same dedication and spirit to everything I do.

Lyndsay

With seven years of experience as a passionate automatic driving instructor, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals master the art of driving with confidence and skill. My approach combines patience and enthusiasm, ensuring that each learner feels comfortable behind the wheel.

I believe that driving is not just about maneuvering a vehicle, but also about instilling a sense of responsibility and awareness on the road.

Throughout my years of instruction, I have tailored my techniques to meet the unique needs of each student, guiding them from their first lesson to achieving independence as a driver.

Creating a supportive and engaging learning environment is my priority, as I strive to make each session enjoyable and educational. My goal is to empower my students not only to pass their driving tests but to become safe and confident drivers for life.
