HYUNDAI i800 STYLE
Mathieson Training, a Midlands-based train- ing company accredited to deliver BTEC and NVQ train- ing to the taxi and private hire industry, is pleased to report that over 100 drivers have now achieved their qualifications in vari- ous areas including Dudley, Cannock and Stratford-upon-Avon. The company, run by Omar Ali and John Laf- ferty, has won the overwhelming support of both the trade and licensing authorities. The examining body was so impressed with their delivery that they awarded then direct status for their NVQ. Mathieson Training also includes extra support modules in their training pro- gramme, where they include a police proce- dures awareness workshop which includes a visit from the local police; plus a practical disability
awareness workshop delivered by the com- pany’s business partnership with the West Midlands Special Needs Transport organisation.
Support from the trade has been instrumental in repeat business. Long-time NPHA mem- ber Jim Main of Stratford-upon-Avon praised the efforts of Mathieson Training: “I would thoroughly rec- ommend this course to anyone in the taxi trade as I feel that it would help to establish respect and cohesion in our industry.”
Mohammed Ali, owner of Dudley based Water- front Taxis and general secretary of the Dudley
Taxi Alliance, was so impressed with the course content and quality that he encour- aged all his drivers to do their training with Mathieson. Some of Mr Ali’s drivers went the extra mile in over- coming their literacy needs by enrolling on a skills for life course delivered by Mathieson Training’s partnership with Basic Training Centre Ltd. These driv- ers were presented with their awards by Dudley North MP Mr Ian Austin.

True comfort, genuine practicality and great looks can be an illu- sive combination. But not with the new i800. This innovative, eight seat car perfectly accommodates all the demands of modern family – and working – life in one sleek, ele- gant design.
Style and function come as standard with the i800. Take the rear sliding doors, creating easy access in the tightest of spaces. Or the privacy glass that keeps your valuables and pas- sengers securely out of sight. And whilst the remote central locking and integrat- ed alarm ensure your i800 is secure when parked, it also has a range of features that offer incredible safety on the road including an advanced Elec- tronic Stability Programme (ESP), Anti-lock Braking Sys- tem (ABS), Electronic
Brake force Distribu- tion (EBD) and Traction Control Sys- tem (TCS).
In fact, the i800 is packed with features you’d usually expect to find on high-specifi- cation executive cars. But it’s not just inno- vative features and elegant design that turns heads towards the i800. The ability of its powerful 2.5 CRDi 168 BHP engine really gives this large peo- ple carrier the power to please – while mak- ing it incredibly light and nimble on the road. All in all, the i800 packs a real punch on style, practi- cality and performance. You’ll be impressed by the wide range of features packed into the i800’s interior. The i800 is big on comfort too. Interior refinements include a heated driver’s front seat, electric front window controls and
