Last weekend, in Auckland, Toyota NZ held it's annual Dealer Conference. It is a chance for dealers to all get together, share some stories and be a part of the annual awards ceremony.

This year Bowater Toyota was very successful again and scooped several major national awards.

Bowater Toyota CEO Tony Bowater was very honoured to represent his hardworking team in Auckland, visiting the stage on 4 separate ocassions. The major awards for the dealership were the national 2013 Parts Excellence Trophy and the 2013 New Vehicle Excellence Cup. The Bowater Toyota Dealership was also runner up in the Service Excellence Cup, as well as runner up in the Dealer of the Year award.

In addition to these prestigious awards, Bowater Toyota also received recognition with the Toyota Platinum Award, an award that is given for outstanding excellence in all areas of the business, and the Triple Crown Award (being the top sellers in passenger, commercial and overall new market share within our region).

The accolades however did not stop there. The following morning at the post awards breakfast Bowater Toyota were singled out again and held up as a shining example of how dealerships could be actively engaged in contributing to the local community.

This was a very humbling moment said Bowater Toyota CEO Tony Bowater as "all the company was doing was returning the favour and supporting the community just as they supported the business".
