A DURHAM driving centre has passed a test of its performance with flying colours.

BSM's Durham office in Claypath has been judged as the company's top centre in the North-East. It was judged on criteria such as sales of lessons and other teaching material, revenue generated, the number of hours worked by each of its 19 driving instructors and pass rates in theory and practical driving tests.

Manager Lisa Smith received the centre's prize from BSM operations director George Johnson at a ceremony in Wetherby, North Yorkshire.
