Connor
Sales Executive
Connor joined Trax in January 2023, entering the hydraulic field with no prior knowledge. His challenge was to learn quickly and fill the shoes of a retiring staff member, ensuring a seamless transition and setting the stage for a long and prosperous career at Trax.

Connor’s rapid learning curve allowed him to become a fully-fledged, valued member of the Trax Hydraulics team. His development didn’t stop there; while mastering the sales counter, a role he continues to this day, Connor also took charge of managing Trax’s inventory and bolstering relationships with both new and existing suppliers.
Leveraging his previous IT experience, Connor initiated an independent review of Trax’s digital marketing strategy, leading to the creation of a new company website and laying the groundwork for future advancements.
As Trax grows and evolves, so does Connor’s role within the company. He eagerly anticipates the shared journey ahead with Trax, as they both continue to develop independently and together.
