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.
Keith Hall
Service Manager
I rejoined the team in the autumn of 2019, after some years away with my own business, having previously spent 10 years here as a service advisor. I have always been in the automotive industry in Nelson, in fact I even started my time in the industry here at Bowaters! Outside of work I am a keen fisherman and spend a lot of time on the water in the Sounds.
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.
Gordon Palmer
Parts Advisor
I have been in the motor industry for 4 decades, joining the Bowater Toyota parts team in 2002. I worked as a mechanic until 1982 so have a practical knowledge that can help you with your parts needs.
Al Mapperley
Business 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
Financial Services Consultant
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.
