The Goulburn Valley region stands as a cornerstone of Victoria’s production industries, where sectors like transport and construction form the backbone of economic vitality. Amidst this bustling landscape, local enterprises play a pivotal role, not only in driving commerce but also in fostering community resilience and growth.
One such inspiring example is Hamlyn Mechanical Repairs (HMR), and business owner Clint Hamlyn’s personal journey from apprentice to entrepreneur, this story exemplifies the spirit of innovation, and commitment to service that defines Goulburn Valley’s business ethos. Starting out with a humble mobile repair service, Clint’s dedication and expertise led to the acquisition of HM Transport Maintenance, marking a significant expansion in HMR’s capabilities and reach. Today, with a well-equipped workshop, a thriving spare parts division, and mobile service vehicles, HMR is a testament to his determination.


The addition of Pirtek Shepparton and Albury/Wodonga underscores HMR’s commitment to meeting diverse industry needs, further enhancing its role as a vital resource for the automotive, transport, and construction sectors in our community. Clint’s emphasis on supporting local businesses and employing locals not only strengthens economic ties but also reinforces the interconnectedness that sustains our region’s prosperity.
In an era of rapid change and global uncertainty, nurturing local enterprises like HMR is more important than ever. These businesses not only provide essential services but also contribute to the fabric of our community, embodying values of integrity, innovation, and dedication.
As we celebrate successes like Clint’s, let us recognise and support the countless other local enterprises that enrich Goulburn Valley’s economic landscape.
Together, through collaboration and support, we can ensure that Goulburn Valley remains a vibrant hub of industry and innovation, where local businesses thrive and our community flourishes.
