The hunt is on for a new Isuzu D-Max with the help of Davey Hughes

2013-isuzu-dmax-hunt01
The 2013 Isuzu D-Max LS - a truck worthy of Davey Hughes respect.

This year it starts in your own backyard!

Isuzu have launched another D-Max hunt fronted by our generations Barry Crump - the legendary hunter, Swazi founder and all round nice guy, Davey Hughes. The competition is quite different for 2013 with the chance to win the D-Max a little bit more of a game.
But first things first - you will need to register to be a part of it all online.
Click here to get started but come back to this page when you are done and we will give you some tips.

Davey Huges has been busy and the boffins behind the scenes have come up with a slightly different formula this time round. Davey Hughes has hidden 9 Hunting Licences out there in the New Zealand bush – 6 in the North Island and 3 in the South. Track one down and you can win one of two brand new Isuzu D-Max utes at Davey’s big D-Max Decider in October. But to join the hunt you need to sign up first.

Stay tuned for more information as we guide you through the process, and keep you in the loop. Keep reading to learn just how easy it is. Wouldn't it be awesome if someone local pulled it off and came home with a brand new Isuzu D-Max!

The Bowater Motor Group believe in supporting events that look after the community and are focussed on delivering a sense of well being to those involved.

What better event to sponsor than a Fun Bike Ride, and the perfect place to dish out some of our BMG Hi-Vis Safety Vests.

What are your plans for this coming Sunday 15th September?
At this stage the long range weather forecast looks great, with a booming sunny icon for the top of the south. If you have plans change them, and if you have not planned your weekend yet this will be a fantastic fun bike riding opportunity with the chance to win a whole lot of prizes, and get a bit of fresh country air at the same time!

The folks behind the world famous Rainbow Rage Bike Race have put together this short ride, and it is a great opportunity to be involved in a safe, marshalled group activity that has got a nice social component to it as well.

There are two different rides you can enter, a 42km or 20km Fun Ride - with the focus on the fun aspect!
Come one, come all! Most of us can ride the 42kms & anyone can ride 20kms, so pack up the kids if you have them and GET ON YOUR BIKE & RIDE!!!!

This is a great chance to see a wonderful part of the country, get some fitness into you or even enjoy some family time completing the ride with your kids!

New Features!
We have recently installed a new multi language tool. Head to the top section of the website and select your preferred language. Easy as that.

We hope this helps you connect with us.

Supporting the Brook Sanctuary

The Brook Sanctuary is returning nature to the Nelson Region. They are undertaking a very ambitious and visionary project, and amongst other very important projects they are currently working on raising funds to place a 14km predator-proof fence that will create a 700ha native wildlife experience close to Nelson’s city centre.

The Bowater Motor Group are right behind them on this project, and we have injected our own support during the initial public fundraising phase of the project by enabling them to have a campaign office downtown in the heart of Nelson.
