OBE for drink drive pioneer

Graham Wynn , a pioneer of drink drive education, has been awarded the OBE for services to road safety.

Mr Wynn (55), a member of the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS), set up the TTC Group in 1993 to trial a government initiative to educate convicted drink drivers about alcohol. In 2000, the government expanded the rehabilitation programme nationwide, and TTC was at the forefront of the groundbreaking training, working closely with the DfT.

Today, TTC is the largest provider of alcohol education in the UK. It provides 800 courses for almost 10,000 offenders in 14 counties each year.

"I'm bowled over by the award," Mr Wynn said. "But it is all down to our hard working team of professionals who have helped to put the TTC Group on the map. More importantly they have successfully got over to thousands of people that we can and do have safer roads by educating people."
