About Us

---

Professional Driving Associates (PDA) was founded in 1998, initially to provide vehicle test and durability services to proving ground facilities within the heart of the United Kingdom.  PDA became a Limited company in 2001, initially from 2-3 employees, to where we are today; employing a reliable and dedicated pool of specialist test drivers (with 50+ test drivers, including a number of qualified event drivers). 

PDA Ltd operate within the Midlands, providing specialist test and durability services to a range of well known, leading automotive manufacturers; our flexible approach allows us to provide automotive testing services within proving ground facilities and a range of road based testing across the United Kingdom and overseas.

As a specialist automotive test provider, we are able to discuss the needs of the customer and develop the most cost effective solution for any automotive testing needs. Please view our 'Services' page for an insight into the types of automotive testing PDA Ltd are able to offer and examples of projects that we have previously undertaken.

If you think you might have the skills and experience required to become a specialist test driver (testing of vehicles or motorcycles), we would be pleased to hear from you for an initial discussion about working with us. Due to the nature of the work, there is a robust application process to ensure you will be able to fulfil the remit of the projects undertaken by PDA Ltd.

Our test drivers, tell us that the work they undertake is rewarding and that they enjoy spending their working hours doing something that they have a keen interest in!   At PDA Ltd we are very proud of our staff retention rates and we have a number of employees that have been with us for many years!
