Martin Reilly – Director
Having successfully facilitated more than 150 courses, Martin was promoted to lead facilitator in 2018. While he continues to facilitate the DDRS courses he also offers support and supervision to new facilitators. He has first-hand experience of the criminal justice system and we believe that his own rehabilitative journey allows him the unique position to empathise and build a rapport with all clients. He has been involved in the development of the DDRS since its inception and has been crucial for building client contact and engagement. Martin is also heading our innovative preventative drink driving courses where he is currently making contact with employers and organisations that would benefit from this course.
