Graeme Derry
Business Manager
I have worked for Manukau Toyota Group for 6 months now but have been in Finance and Insurance throughout my whole career. My favourite thing about helping folks into a Toyota is seeing how happy they are when they drive away with their new car. Toyota personalised finance is great too as the people at Toyota Financial Services always treat everyone as a client rather than a number, which makes them feel appreciated and well looked after. Outside of work, I am very passionate about photography and videography, and would likely be pursuing this as a career if I wasn’t a Business Manager.
Mark Meiring
Floating Business Manager
It’s coming up to two years since I started with Manukau Toyota Group. I began as a Service Advisor at Papakura Toyota after my small business was impacted by COVID – I then branched into a Business Manager role in 2021. Helping folks to buy a Toyota is very rewarding as I know they are making a good purchasing decision by choosing an asset with renowned reliability. With Toyota Personalised Finance we can make customers very happy by rewarding them for their good financial habits. My all-time favourite Toyota is the legendary Supra, but the new Corolla GR is already on the list!
