AA Buys BSM driving School

The AA has bought BSM driving school for £1 today after the 100 year old organisation went into administration.

The move which now passes the crown of largest national driving school franchise to the AA with a combined total of 4,000 instructors on the books of the group.

According to the press release, the 2 driving schools will continue to operate as separate businesses to protect the well known BSM brand, and learner driver pupils should not notice any changes. As with all take overs, there is likely going to be job losses and with time a change in some operating procedures which will definately affect the driving instructors in due course.
