Matthew has been with SAMs for 36 wonderful years and he will be greatly missed by staff and customers alike! Matthew will have some ongoing involvement in the business as he continues as a director of The Colonial Motor Company.

Michael Tappenden will step into the CEO role at South Auckland Mazda.

On behalf of the South Auckland Mazda team we would like to thank Matthew for the tremendous contribution he has made to our business. We have been very fortunate to have you steering the ship for over 3 decades, you leave big boots to fill!
