At the age of 21, Reg purchased the business from his employer after completing his apprenticeship. Originally a small workshop and service station employing a staff of three, Neale took on the Volkswagen Franchise and has since developed Paradise Motors into the successful business it is today after becoming a Mazda only dealership in 1979.
Through good management, careful planning and great customer relations, what began as a small family owned and operated car yard in Paradise, has grown significantly with over 80 staff members and a yearly Mazda sales target of over 1,700 cars, compared to the 1979 yearly target of 72 cars.
Not only has Reg been involved with the business for over 60 years, many of the Paradise Mazda Team Members have been working for the company for over 20 years, some even 40!
