Dear Team,
As we close out Q1, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible effort you’ve all put in to start 2025 on such a high note.
Our recent success at the Toyota Dealer of the Year Awards is something we can all be proud of. These accolades are a direct reflection of your hard work, dedication, and the strength we build by working together, not just as colleagues, but as a team committed to a shared purpose.
When we support each other internally and engage meaningfully with our wider community, we create something truly powerful. It’s that spirit of connection within our dealership and beyond, that drives our success.
Thank you for everything you do. Let’s keep building on this momentum together.
Lee Matenga
