Ebbett Toyota
Meet the team
Tony Coutinho
CEO
I am third generation in the motor industry, starting my career in our family business in South Africa. Along the way I’ve been very fortunate, working with some of the very best in the industry. I have performed a wide range of roles from Apprentice Technician through to General Manager of a large dealer group. I learnt early on that success comes from the quality of the people around you and the clarity of each team member’s contribution to the goal. I am thrilled to be CEO and shareholder of Ebbett Toyota, it’s a business with a strong reputation and a fantastic team, dedicated to customer satisfaction. It’s a real privilege to be part of New Zealand’s largest vehicle brand and delivering on its unrivalled customer experience. I look forward to meeting all our customers soon and if I can be of any service please just get in touch on the links above.
Owen Booth
Sales Consultant
I started selling motor vehicles in the late 1980’s and have had more than 35 years in the retail vehicle sector. I also ran my own successful motor vehicle business for 14 years. I moved into real estate sales for a number of years, but now have settled back into New Vehicle Sales with Waikato Toyota. I enjoy the popular brand and especially the reliability of our franchise product.
Andre Barnard
Sales Consultant
I started with Ebbett Toyota in June 2018 and I enjoy every moment of it. I have not been selling cars for that long, but have been exposed to cars and racing from a very young age. I like to listen to the customer and present them with a car that fits their needs.
Wayne Spencer
Sales Consultant
I have spent most of my working life in sales and marketing and management roles. I have been working at Ebbett Toyota for 15 years as a Vehicle Consultant and have enjoyed every minute dealing with the great Toyota product. I have a passion for cars and love motorsports, particularly rallying in which I have competed up to the National Level of the sport. I love music and enjoying spending time with my family including our 6 Grandchildren.
Derek Hewa

I have been in automobile sales for 5 years out of which I spent 3 years at North Western Toyota. I am glad to now be working for Ebbett Toyota when my family decided to move to Hamilton. I thoroughly enjoy working at Ebbett Toyota with a great team and work culture. Be it your personal, family or work, I am here to help find your dream vehicle!

Rob Schultz
Customer Care Specialist
I enjoy cars - the comfort, reliability and looks of Toyota appeal to me. I have sold cars for five years and enjoy the safety and convenience of modern cars as well as how fast they improve. Having travelled most of the world, I try to broaden my interests by finding out about anything novel, which could lead to a cool new hobby.
Joanne Sowman
Finance Controller
I have been with the Ebbett Group family for just over 5 years in the Group Head Office until transferring to Toyota in September this year. I have enjoyed being part of an ever changing environment, with the group never standing still and I am looking for the new challenges with Ebbett Toyota.
