Meet the team
Tony Bowater
CEO
I am a third generation Bowater family member, proud to continue in my grandfather's and father's footsteps. I believe that our successes as Toyota Dealer of the Year 2014, 2015 and 2016 are a direct team result of dedication, respect and commitment. On a personal note, I am married with three children, and still like to play the drums when I get the chance.
Craig Allott
Vehicle Sales
A recent migrant from Invercargill, my wife and I moved our young children to warm and friendly Motueka in 2016 to be closer to family. Prolific musician in my spare time, I am performing most weekends.
Nigel Last-Harris
Fleet Sales Manager
I have been involved with Toyota since the early 90’s and can assist you and your business with all of your motoring and fleet vehicle requirements. Avid mountain biker and Kaiteriteri camper.
Al Mapperley
Used Vehicle Manager
I've been working for Bowaters since 2001 after escaping from the UK. With an in-depth knowledge of Toyota Finance, Service and Warranty products, I can help make the decision to move into your dream vehicle a breeze.

Nick Collins
Service Manager
Nick returned to his old job as Service Manager in the winter of 24 after an extended 7 year skiing holiday in Queenstown. Nick started with us on the tools in 2007, and moved his way up to Service Manager with a lot of hard work and determination. This attitude follows Nick and his family into their personal lives as they are a family of outdoor adventurers, with snow sports and motor sports high on the list.
Kieron Reilly
Parts Manager
I started with Toyota in 1982 in the Parts Dept and became Parts Manager in 1989, leading the team to many awards along the way. I am proud to call our department one of the best in the country.
Andrew Maitland
Business Manager
Originally hailing from Canada I have lived here for most of my life but still have a bit of a thing for Ice Hockey! Let me help you navigate the ins and outs of finance and insurance.
Sandie Horne
Admin & Accounting Manager
I joined the team in 2007 following an 18 month senior OE in Europe. Managing a busy admin dept is juxtaposed by family time and my community work with the Red Cross Disaster Relief Team.
