Our Founders
Loz Williams 1960 – 2019
Loz founded 2WheelSkool in 2001.
After departing Her Majesties Right Royal Army with 24 years’ service, Loz took his passion and
expertise for riding and hurled himself into creating 2Wheelskool. Working with his wife Robyn,
they’ve built the most successful Bike Training school in West Yorkshire.
Loz was riding since he spat his dummy out and had years of riding experience under his belt –
everything from field bikes to Fizzies (mopeds) to Off-Road competitions (Army Champion) to racing
1000cc sports bikes (nutter!).
His qualifications were endless:
- Qualified Army Bike Instructor – regarded to be second only to the coveted police Class1
course. He attained the Armies highest instructor qualifications, teaching other instructors
and was appointed to a school of excellence in his field
- He passed both CBT and DAS qualifications at Cardington first time and with glowing reports
- He passed the IAM and Edge advanced riding tests, registered as an advanced RPMT
instructor to teach the Enhanced rider scheme and qualified as an FBOS first aider in 2005
- In 2004 he won the Moto road stars National Biking competition, being declared Britain's
Safest Biker. Suzy Perry presented the award and he appeared in numerous local press and
radio reports
Loz was Chief instructor at 2Wheelskool and responsible for training and monitoring all the
instructors who work with us, ensuring they followed same exemplary standards that he set himself.
Two down-trained instructors trained by Loz even progressed to become DVSA examiners.
In 2011 he fulfilled a lifelong dream of competitive motorbike racing, winning several races, firstly as
Team Piston Broke, before he and his mate Pep secured Army backing and expanded, meaning
soldiers can represent the Army at nationally recognised endurance events. There are around 20
serving and ex-soldiers racing and working under the team’s umbrella now.
In true Loz style, he raced until the end, even while he battled cancer, he couldn’t help but pass on
his knowledge to the established and rookie riders of the team. So was he revered that the team
introduced an award for the season’s most improved rider bearing his name – The Loz Williams
Trophy.
Be it instructing or racing, Loz left an unrivalled legacy and we continue his work today to help you
achieve your bike riding goals.
