A Swindon manager has scooped a top accolade in driver training experts BSM's annual awards to the company's best performing centres for the past year.

Tony Oliver, who runs the BSM centre in Regent Circus, beat off tough competition to take his award which was based on instructor recruitment.

Tony, who is 50, received his award from BSM Operations Director George Johnson in a glittering ceremony at a top hotel.

"All my colleagues in the Swindon centre worked tremendously hard throughout 2004," he said.

"The award is fantastic recognition of what they have achieved."
