Britney Moore

Britney Moore didn’t just play with remote control cars—she pulled them apart, curious about how they worked. After a stint at university, she realised her true calling was hands-on, and the automotive workshop was where she belonged.

Now an apprentice technician at Ebbett Tauranga, Britney’s days are filled with variety—whether she’s rotating tyres or diagnosing complex issues, she’s always learning something new. The passion and energy she brings to the workshop is felt by the whole team, as Britney builds a bright future in the automotive industry.
