Since 1905, we have been committed to putting drivers first with innovative thinking and award-winning services. And today we offer even more than ever. We have a driving service for pretty much anything you’ll ever need. Insurance, servicing and repair, driving lessons, buying and financing cars, roadside assistance and much more. Our members have an unshakeable confidence because they have a multi-service driving partner for life. So, no matter what’s around the corner, it really is OK when you’re with the AA.

Earlier this week our colleagues from Roadside, Talent Acquistion and our Apprenticeship team attended a National Apprenticeship and Education event in London. The event was designed to inspire school & college leavers to discover more about career and further education opportunities. With over 5,000 visitors attending the event, the team put them to the test with a tyre challenge and showcased how we help our members get into their vehicles if they’ve lost their keys. The team had a fantastic day showing what life is like at The AA.

Last week was Deepawali, a celebration of light, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. To celebrate, our Basingstoke office put up traditional decorations and arranged a potluck, with over 40 colleagues coming together to try new Indian dishes. A massive thank you to our Origins co-chair Sathya Kathiresan and Ranjani Iyerr, for all of their hard work organising the celebration. It was a great success and we look forward to seeing the next potluck! #Deepawali #Diwali
We're committed to helping to stop the needless deaths of young drivers, passengers and others. So we're strengthening our call for the introduction of Graduated Driver Licensing with the launch of our mini manifesto. Graduated Driver Licensing has been proven in other countries to significantly reduce road deaths and serious injuries. Figures show 290 people were killed in young driver crashes last year with more than 4,669 seriously injured. Not only is this a tragic waste of life, but it contributes to the burden of high insurance premiums for young drivers. These premiums should fall when there is evidence of a reduction of young drivers and passengers killed and seriously injured. We are calling on the Transport Secretary to make simple, pragmatic changes to the licensing process so young people are better protected in their first few months of independent driving.

Strong performance in the first half year results 💪 #ItsOkImWithTheAA #TheNextChapter #Transformation
This morning we shared our half year results and I am proud that The AA delivered a strong performance in the first half of the year, driven by accelerating income growth and great customer service. The transformation of The AA continues at pace and we remain confident in our strategy and our ability to drive profitable growth. Looking forward, the positive momentum from the first half of the year means we are on track for a strong overall performance for FY25 as we expand into broader driving services. A huge thank you to all our colleagues, without them none of this would be possible.

Yesterday my team and I spent an incredible and inspiring day with more than 1,000 colleagues in person and many more joining us virtually for ‘The Next Chapter Live’. For the first time in decades, possibly ever, the AA brought together a large number of colleagues right across the business in an interactive Expo style event, showcasing the breadth of services for UK drivers, but also celebrating the progress made over the past 3 years. It was fantastic to hear from our Chairman Rick Haythornthwaite and we were delighted to welcome our sponsors James O'Gara, Gordon Holmes, Nevio Duci and Jamaria K. to experience the day with us. Pride in the past and optimism in the future were infectious at the event, and it was lovely to meet and speak to so many colleagues from all across the business. Thank you to everyone who was part of it – none of this would be possible without you. #itsokimwiththeAA #TheNextChapter Louise Benford Neil Blagden Dean Keeling Nick Edwards Harj Johal tom mackay Gus Park Aileen Gillan James Cox
A very special day at The AA yesterday as we welcomed 1,000 colleagues in person, had live link ups to our offices, and many more joining on live stream or watching on demand: The Next Chapter Live – our all-colleague experience. We celebrated how far we’ve come as a business and what’s to come, heard from Jakob Pfaudler and his team on our journey and the great progress we’ve made and were delighted to welcome our Chairman Rick Haythornthwaite to hear his valuable perspectives. The interactive Expo showcased the different parts of the business and the part they play in our success, including our latest fleet as well as our heritage vehicles to showcase our proud history. And the bitesize sessions gave our colleagues the opportunity to hear more about different topics that all help us create confidence for drivers. An incredible and inspiring day. We’re proud of everything we’ve achieved and our amazing team - without them none of this would be possible - here’s to the next chapter! #itsokimwiththeAA Louise Benford Dean Keeling Nick Edwards Harj Johal Aileen Gillan Neil Blagden Gus Park tom mackay James Cox Tom Fawcett
Today is World Mental Health day and the theme this year is workplace mental health, highlighting the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Here at The AA, we know that our people are our power, so that’s why we're using today as an opportunity to tackle any stigma surrounding mental health in the workplace and encouraging our colleagues and customers to have open conversations about mental health. We empower our managers by training them to identify indicators of poor mental health and provide appropriate support to their teams. We have over 100 Mental Health First Aiders and Wellbeing Champions within The AA and provide specialist mental health support to our colleagues through our psychological wellbeing services. #WorldMentalHeathDay #MentalHealthFirstAiders #ItsOkImWithTheAA
