Bowater Toyota
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.
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.
Ryan Roach
Parts Consultant
I am originally from Canada and moved to NZ with my partner Michelle in 2013, gaining residency in November 2017. In February 2018 we moved from Queenstown to Nelson in search of sun and warmth! I have been working in the motor trade industry since the late 1990's and have been with Toyota NZ since 2014. In my spare time I loved mountain biking and kayak fishing - both activities that are very awesome and well catered for in the top of the south!
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.
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.
