A SHELDON dad has claimed another top award for his roadside patrols.
Shaun Jones, who won the AA Patrol of the Year award, claimed a top spot at the Road Patrol Training for Excellence 2025 awards.
Organised by FIA Region I and ARC Europe, this training event brings together top road patrol teams from across Europe to raise the standard of roadside assistance services.
This year the event was hosted by Touring Club Suisse (TCS) at the TCS Centre de Mobilité, Cossonay, Switzerland.
Shaun was a winner alongside his AA colleague, and team mate, Patrol Trainer Nick Evers.
The pair were commended fir their exceptional skill and professionalism throughout the training and assessment sessions, securing a well-earned place among the top teams.
The event provides participants with hands-on experience using vehicles from various ARC Europe partner brands, focusing on common breakdown scenarios, advanced repair techniques, and emerging automotive technologies.
Teams undergo rigorous training and assessments, culminating in certification and the coveted title of Road Patrol Team of the Year for the highest-scoring team.
Silver medallist, Shaun, said: “Nick and I are beyond proud to have achieved a place on the podium in this prestigious event. The competition and comradery amongst the contestants were both heartwarming and inspirational. The standards set by all involved were breathtaking.
“Teaming up with Nick Evers was especially poignant for me, as Nick was the very person who trained me to become an AA patrol, eight short years ago. With Nick having previously represented The AA at many levels in the UK and abroad, I couldn’t have wished for a better partner – He’s an absolute superstar.”
