I have been with Toyota for 25 years and the Hutt valley plays a big part in my life. I have four children all at school in the Hutt and I am involved in numerous local sporting clubs.

Originally from Madrid, Spain, I came to New Zealand in 2012 with my wife and four kids. I joined King Toyota that same year and enjoyed every day since. When I am not at work, I love spending time with my family, outdoors or in the Eastbourne Fire Station where I am a volunteer fire fighter.
Simon Lakeman

After joining King Toyota in 2013, I've had the chance to meet and help so many people. Outside of work, I follow NRL (Wests Tigers), most codes of sport and love all things DIY. You might bump into my family and I at our local hardware, cafe or dog beach with Muttley!
