Having grown up with a family who owned a motorcycle shop, Mike has always been around motor vehicles, so after working as a Qualified Accountant in Wellington, London and the Caribbean, it’s not surprising that when the opportunity to get involved in the family car business arose back in 2001 the suit and tie was traded in. Mike loves the industry and over the past 18 years has been involved in selling both new and used vehicles plus managing a full workshop. Mike can genuinely say there is never a dull day in the car industry!

Dean was born and raised in sunny Nelson and stayed there the first forty years of his life. The motor industry became Deans calling soon after leaving school and he has been involved ever since! The new vehicle industry is where Dean spent most of my time, mostly in Toyota dealerships in Nelson, Australia briefly and Thames before moving to Tauranga in 2015. Dean has a keen passion for Hockey and has represented NZ at masters level since 2003, and he brings the same dedication, passion and enjoyment to his work life. Dean can offer you years of experience and an enjoyment in making that next big purchase and you just might get a hello from Wilson, his little Maltese dog, who spends most days sleeping in the office.
