      Paul “Griff” Griffin has an infectious personality and goes out of his way to help as many people as he can in and out of the training school. In many and if not all cases he puts himself before others and like the rest of the training staff at the driving school is a huge asset to our trainees for not only the knowledge he brings to school from his time in the industry but his ability to see that those who may be struggling make it to the other side and successfully complete.
