DriveSmart Solutions story

Born From The Road Up

Nearly a decade of hands-on fleet operations taught us one thing, safety doesn’t happen by accident. It takes expertise, commitment and someone who genuinely cares.

Fleet Driver Assessor Kent

At DriveSmart Solutions, fleet safety isn’t just a service — it’s something we’ve lived from the inside.

Founded by Rhys, DriveSmart Solutions was built on nearly a decade of hands-on operational experience. As an Assistant Operations Manager at a busy coach firm, Rhys was responsible for keeping a large fleet roadworthy and compliant — managing 42-day vehicle inspections, ensuring coaches were maintained, clean and audit-ready, and carrying out driver assessments for both existing staff and new drivers joining the business. He knows what it takes to run a fleet properly, because he’s done it.

But it was the roads themselves that inspired DriveSmart Solutions. Rhys has experienced UK roads from behind the wheel of both coaches and Class 1 HGVs — and what he sees concerns him. Roads are becoming more pressured, more impatient and more dangerous. Drivers who spend their working lives on those roads deserve better — better training, better awareness and a genuine understanding of how to stay safe.

That’s why DriveSmart Solutions exists. To give businesses and their drivers the skills, confidence and knowledge to make every journey safer. Not as a tick box exercise — but because it genuinely matters.

Rhys Hills
Owner / Assessor

Before founding DriveSmart Solutions, I spent 9 years as a coach driver and Assistant Operations Manager at a coach firm. A role that gave me a deep understanding of fleet risk, driver behaviour and what it really takes to keep people safe on the road.
