Hands-on with Heavy Diesel

Growing up hands-on and curious, Connor Hall followed in his father’s footsteps into the world of heavy diesel mechanics. Now working at Drummond & Etheridge, Connor spends his days diagnosing and repairing agricultural machinery, keeping local farms running smoothly.

Whether he’s out on-site or in the workshop, Connor’s passion for problem-solving and practical work shines through. His journey—from MITO StartUp® while still at school to a thriving apprenticeship—is proof that with the right attitude and support, curiosity can become a career.

Watch the video to see how Connor is turning curiosity into a career.

If you're still a student, ask your school about StartUp®, MITO's secondary school programme for the automotive industry.

Understanding how things work isn’t just an interest for Connor—it’s a career in heavy diesel mechanics.
