MITO apprentices Tori Stonehouse and Sam Rodgers with the Paddon Rallysport team at Rally Otago.

It was great to have Tori and Sam join our PRG team for the recent Rally Otago. And boy did they get thrown in the deep end with it being one of our team's busiest events to date. But they soaked it all up and took it in their stride to become a key part of our team throughout what was a successful weekend. It was awesome to see them enjoying the experience and working so well within our group.” - Hayden Paddon.
