Stories from the
drake Group team

  • Kai  Mathews

    Fitter-welder

    Drake Group

    Kai has been a welder and fitter with Drake Group for five years, having grown up in the transport industry from his early years working in his father’s heavy haulage business. Starting at Drake through a work experience program at his trade school, Kai soon progressed to a full-time apprenticeship and began training in everything through the company. Whether working out in the service truck or in the workshop, Kai’s passion is tackling new technologies such as steering axles and house trailers to get the best results.

  • Nick  Hodgson

    Sales

    Drake Group

    For his whole career, Nick has always been chasing the best professional opportunity. He started out as a boilermaker at Drake Group, but soon realised he wanted to take a chance as a part of our sales team – and after experiencing the supportive and close-knit team at Drake, he knew that he’d found the place to stay and build his career. Nick enjoys the dynamic nature of his work, collaborating with customers on transport solutions and seeing the final products come to life.

  • Samantha  Hall

    Boilermaker

    Drake Trailers

    Samantha has been with Drake Trailers for four and a half years, having recently completed her apprenticeship as a boilermaker online which she studied while being a stay-at-home mum. Since starting her career at Drake, she’s worked and gained experience in a number of roles, from operations to repairs and maintenance. One of her proudest moments has been becoming a mentor for new apprentices, helping them succeed in their own trades in the same way as had been done for her when she joined.
