We’re thrilled to celebrate Bill Potter’s 30th anniversary with the Miles Group!

Bill Potter, 30 years at the Miles Group

“A true legend…”

“Huge congratulations to the young man in the photo. This morning Bill received his 30-year service certificate from Toyota New Zealand. Thanks for your service, Bill you’re a Miles Group lifer and a true legend.” Says Miles Toyota CEO, Mark Mills.

“I joined the Miles Group after the opportunity arose to become the leading hand at a brand-new boutique workshop on Orchard Road (Miles Toyota Airport), and then moved to work under the ILAM Toyota banner in 1994. I’ve been part of the Miles Group team ever since and have enjoyed growing from leading hand with a team of 4 to managing a dynamic team of 14 and working with a great bunch of people at ILAM and Miles Toyota who, like me, will do their best for the company and our customers.

“I’ll probably hang around a bit longer and continue this Toyota journey – destination unknown!” Says Bill.

Today, Bill holds the title of Service Manager at Miles Toyota Airport.

Thank you, Bill, for representing our Toyota stores and the Miles Group ethos so well over the last 30 years – here’s to many more!
