Mark Parnel

I have lived in the Havant area all my life and have fantastic knowledge of the Havant and Waterlooville areas. I’m happily married and have two grown-up children and a lovely little granddaughter. In my spare time I enjoy tropical fish keeping, watching movies and eating out with my wife and family. Other interests include walking, BBQs and family picnics in the summer.

I have great passion for my job as an ADI and get great pleasure from teaching and helping pupils of different ages achieve their goals and pass their driving test. I became an ADI in 2014. My prior role of 15 years was as a Mill Manager in a busy furniture company, which involved training and coaching adults to help them reach their goals and further their careers.

I’ve now transferred these skills to provide confident driving tuition with a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Hope to see you on the road soon!
