Schaeffler has continued its Wrenches & Wisdom campaign, which focuses on workshop apprenticeships and career opportunities, by featuring Dean Lomas in a new episode.
Lomas, who launched his “The Neurodivergent Mechanic” YouTube channel last year, has become a recognised figure in the automotive industry. He began his career in 1996, received the National Modern Apprentice of the Year Award in 2001, and opened his successful DC Lomas business in 2016. In 2023, he expanded his premises to include electric vehicle repairs.
The new episode, scheduled for release in early April, will showcase Lomas’ journey and the challenges he overcame. He will discuss how the industry can support young people’s career progression and emphasise the importance of using genuine original equipment quality components. The video will be available on Schaeffler’s REPXPERT UK social media channels.
The Wrenches & Wisdom campaign will continue throughout 2025, with the REPXPERT team visiting workshops to educate the independent aftermarket on the value of apprenticeships.
