Brief History

Diamond Drive began 12  years ago and at its peak employed over 15 Instructors.
  The partners of the company are Russ Baker and Lisa Dockree who are brother and sister.  Lisa qualified to be a Driving Instructor in 1994 and worked for a local driving school.  While she was working she also had the task of training Russ to qualify as an Instructor - Russ qualified in October 1995 and they then decided to set up a company between them and they settled upon the name of "Diamond Drive". 

We have become very well known in the local area for  our competitive prices, quality of instruction and reliability.
Many of our clients have recommended their friends and relatives to also learn with us.
During this time we have gained tremendous respect from all the Examiners at the Maybush and Forest Hills Driving Test Centres.
