LSH Auto apprentices enjoy the AMG experience

Robert Barry · 0 comments

LSH Auto treated the 13 members of its accelerated apprenticeship program to an afternoon session of the AMG Experience hosted by the Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy at Phillip Island in Mid-November. 

All of the 13 LSH Auto Advance program members got to experience first-hand the excitement of the racetrack as well as the performance and capabilities of the very technology that they will be working on.

The apprentices were truly inspired by and grateful for the exhilarating hot laps in the Mercedes-AMG cars with instructors Peter Hackett and Ben Price at the helm.

The Advance program is an industry-first and is exclusive to LSH Auto. It was designed by LSH head of strategic aftersales, Briar Ferguson, in collaboration with the Kangan Institute and LSH Auto Australia’s apprenticeship partner WPC Group Limited. 

The next intake of the program will be announced in January 2024.
