Tony Everett – Dealer Services and Mediation Manager

Meet Tony, he's our dealer and mediation specialist.

Tony has been with MTA since 2004 and looks after MTA’s advocacy activities relating to the dealer sector and the retail vehicle market. Tony manages the preparation of MTA submissions on any related legislative measures being considered by government. He also manages the two dealer committees (Dealer and Motorcycles), which meet three times a year. The committees serve as the ‘go-to’ guys for MTA to draw input, ideas and guidance from as MTA defines its stance on the issues that confront the industry.

Tony also supervises the MTA Mediation Team, which helps resolve customer dispute situations for both members and the motoring public.

Life in the motor industry started for Tony in 1980 when he joined General Motors (GM) in Upper Hutt. During this time, he worked in a range of positions including engineering, finance and personnel, before ending up as their Dealer Development Manager. In 2000, Tony joined Marac Finance (again working with dealers). He then went on to take an F&I role with a local Holden dealership before joining MTA. As Tony freely admits, his extensive industry background equips him well for the tasks he now confronts.
