This September Bowater Toyota are putting best foot forward and getting right behind the drive to inform men how important it is to get more involved with their own health. This month is Blue September, the Prostate Cancer Foundation's national awareness campaign to get more kiwi men talking about their health in general, and getting checkups.

Bowater Toyota where keen to get involved when asked by local customers Placemakers. Nationally they are a cornerstone sponsor of the event. Locally they also get right behind it and get folks motivated and talking about it. Amongst otther activities they will be holding an absolutely awesome fundraising evening on Friday September 12th at the Stoke School - a good old fashioned Quiz Night and auction. All proceeds will be donated to Blue September.

It costs $15 a head, and the tables seat 8, so get a bunch of mates together and call Steffan at Placemakers in Stoke asap to secure your spot.

The Cancer Society Nelson gets all Jazzy on Daffodil Day

Sue Benseman, Linda Lucre (in car), Sophia Eagle and Sheryl Wearing (Bowater Honda) getting ready to set off with Daffodils in the Bowater Honda JAZZ AS daffodil yellow Honda Jazz this morning.


This morning Sheryl Wearing from Bowater Honda met up with Sue and Linda from Cancer Society Nelson on the Church Steps to lend them the daffodil yellow Honda Jazz demonstrator we have in our showroom to use for the day.

The Bowater Motor Group have a long history of supporting Cancer Society Nelson with our relationship being very strong over the past 2 years, including projects such as the BMG Mini for Nelson Cancer, the Relay for Life and sponsorship of the centre's primary vehicle. When the topic of Daffodil Day came up recently we asked what we could do to help. Hopefully the very noticable Daffodil Yellow 2014 Honda Jazz will draw attention to the volunteers as they travel the region collecting donations on this very important fund raising day for Cancer Society Nelson.

If you see Linda and her team out today in the Bowater Honda JAZZ AS Jazz make sure you donate! You can be given a bunch of daffodils for a $5 donation, or you can text 'daffodil' to 305 for an instant $3 donation!

We welcome Tim to our Grooming Department

This week we welcomed Tim Berry to our busy Grooming Department on Hardy Street. Tim joins the team from a retail background and is looking forward to the physicality of the new job, and being outside a lot more.

The groomers have the best of both worlds with their 3 bay shed and yard tucked away behind the Bowater Used Cars building on Hardy Street. When the sun is out so are they. The facilities are state of the art, with all manner of tools and specialist professional products at arms reach to get the job done efficiently and professionally. Grooming vehicles is quite an art, as we are sure anyone that attempts to do a great job cleaning their car on their driveway in the weekend can attest to!

The team is always busy - they take care of the external pre-delivery process for all of the franchises making sure that the new vehicles coming into our showrooms are gleaming and ready for their new owners. They also get our trade ins up to a yard ready condition giving all of the vehicles a thorough clean and refresh inside and out.

Tim actually has a family connection to the Bowater Motor Group. His grandfather, a mechanic, finished up his long automotive career at Bowaters a decade or so ago.
