Tania Taylor | Operations Manager

Hi, Tania Taylor Operations Manager for Miles Toyota.
Under my portfolio is the financial reporting for for our Miles Group branches. I am also proud to be part of a management team that supports and continually works towards achieving the BEST. Working for the group for a good number of years, each day has given me a different challenge ensuring that I never fall to sleep!
Being a working mother of two children, my daughter Jaimee (16yrs) and my son Jackson (8yrs) ensures that my time management needs to be up to scratch at all times. Having good support outside of work and a very understanding husband and children, has allowed me to travel regularly with my job working from my North Island sites on average one in every three weeks.
The friendships and relationships that I have been lucky to be part of over the years and working with a team of people supporting them each to succeed in their desired roles has made me proud to be part of Miles Toyota and gets me through the challenges presented to see the next one succeed.
