Jay Solanki

Driver Assessor Trainer, Ealing

After 35 years working as a Quantity Surveyor, Jay took voluntary redundancy and spent the following two years working as a gardener and postman, amongst other things. In 2011, he joined ECT Charity as a part-time driver on school runs across Ealing.

Over the next few years, he gained a broad range of experience driving on our various transport services including PlusBus, Dial-A-Ride and Group Transport. In 2014, Jay successfully applied for the role of Driver Assessor Trainer in Ealing and has since been responsible for inducting and training our new recruits to the MiDAS (and where relevant, PATS) standard. He also conducts refresher training for existing staff and runs training programmes for volunteer drivers at local charities, schools and community groups.

For the past 30 years, Jay has dedicated his Friday evenings being a Scout Leader and Group Scout Leader.
