A training firm for young and unemployed people in Northern Ireland is updating its fleet with six all-electric Nissan Leafs to accelerate its carbon footprint reduction plans.

The new Nissan Leafs support the firm’s commitment to delivering training with the lowest possible eco impact

The Strabane-based company serves communities from five locations across the west of Northern Ireland, helping people from all backgrounds to develop their careers and achieve their ambitions.

The new Nissan Leafs will help advance this work and are being supplied through nearby Nissan dealer Pat Kirk, supported by work from managing director Peter McDermott, sales manager Andrew Crawford and business manager Dean Harbison.

Peter McDermott said: “We are delighted to have secured this deal with 21 Training, a fantastic local business which helps many young and unemployed people in our area.

“It has been a pleasure working with Kieran Kennedy, Mia Coyle, and all the team at 21 Training. We hope this will be the start of a long and fruitful partnership.”

The Leafs have been liveried by Signal Signs of Omagh while 21 Training also ordered accompanying wallbox chargers.

Kieran Kennedy, chairman of 21 Training, said: “We are delighted with our new fleet of electric vehicles. Our organisation is committed to delivering training with the lowest possible impact on the environment and using electric vehicles is one of a number of measures we are taking to reduce our carbon footprint in 2023. We know our staff will love driving our new Nissan Leafs.

“It has been a pleasure dealing with the team at Pat Kirk. We highly recommend them to anyone considering a new electric vehicle.”
