Schaeffler’s Wrenches & Wisdom campaign, which puts the spotlight on workshop apprenticeships and career possibilities for students in the aftermarket, has recently released a brand new episode featuring Dean Lomas.

As a former Apprentice of the Year award winner, Dean is well placed to support the campaign, and in this latest edition he looks back on his career journey and how he managed to succeed despite many challenges encountered along the way.

He also discusses how the industry can support young people as they progress on their own career paths, as well as explaining why choosing to install genuine original equipment quality components is so important in protecting the reputation of a workshop business.

The Wrenches & Wisdom campaign will continue throughout 2025, with the REPXPERT team planning to release more of its successful video series. Each new episode will feature different workshop owners and professional technicians, and Schaeffler hopes that hearing their stories will help others see the value of using any available training and apprenticeship resources to secure the future success of their independent garage business.

Another video is going live later in May, which will feature a visit to a workshop that has taken on not one, but two apprentices after being inspired by Schaeffler’s Wrenches & Wisdom campaign!
