Ethan Lane

Attended Sutton School: 2013 - 2016

““I have always been fascinated by cars, but due to my disability I felt that my dream of pursuing a career in Transport was impossible. Then I got the opportunity to join DPD as an Inspire intern in their Transport department - and I’ve never looked back. It gave me the hands-on experience and support I needed to show my abilities and how I could be an important member of the team, and because of this my confidence grew, as did my responsibilities. This resulted in me being offered a permanent role in November 2020.””
