Victoria Barrett

Managing Director

I am the MD of Viamaster Training and one of the original founders. My philosophy is simple ‘There is a solution to every problem’. I was approached by the Directors of Viamaster Transport in 2008 to join them – shortly after, Viamaster Training was born. I realised very quickly that my skills were transferable to the training sector and now have that same passion for Driver Training.
